Lizzie, a longtime servant of an upperclass Park Avenue family, quits because she has not been paid for months. At an employment agency, she encounters Joan Smith and her young son. Joan is looking for a maid. Lizzie takes a liking to Joan and her child Bobby and negotiates a salary that is higher than what Joan was hoping to pay, but much lower than what she was getting before. Joan's husband, struggling insurance salesman Jimmy, is initially appalled at Lizzie's salary, but Joan gets him to reconsider. Lizzie repeatedly persuades Joan to upgrade her family's lifestyle so they can mingle with the elite and Jimmy can make valuable business contacts. Joan then talks her husband into paying for it all, despite his strong reservations. It works. Jimmy is able to sell large policies to his new acquaintances. Meanwhile, Joan's inventor brother, Kent Fletcher, meets and falls in love with Diana Abercrombie, newly returned from a European finishing school. She, however, is infatuated with married womanizer Warren Sherrill, though she does like Kent. When Lizzie finds Diana and Warren together late one night, she tries to separate them. When that fails, she insists on speaking to Diana alone. She then reveals that she is Diana's mother. She secretly married Diana's father the day before he left for World War I. When he was killed, Lizzie agreed to let his wealthy parents raise Diana as their own, as she, then their upstairs maid, could not provide what they could. At first, Diana is hostile to Lizzie, but as time goes on, she comes to love her mother, breaks up with Warren and warms to Kent. Meanwhile, Lizzie finds love again, with Owen, the former butler of her former employer.

Alfie Wickers (Jack Whitehall) has taken Class K on a school trip to Amsterdam. Unbeknownst to him, Mitchell (Charlie Wernham) has spiked his crepe with magic mushrooms, causing Alfie to hallucinate while in the Anne Frank Museum. He believes Jing (Kae Alexander) is a panda and is convinced that the Anne Frank dummy is alive, which leads to him stealing it from the museum (in a parody of E.T.) and ends up in a canal. One year later, Alfie plans to take his class to Las Vegas, angering the PTA, who doubt the educational value of the trip. They demand that Alfie be sacked. Deputy Head and Alfie's father Martin Wickers (Harry Enfield), headmaster Shaquille Fra$er (Mathew Horne) and teacher and Alfie's girlfriend Rosie Gulliver (Sarah Solemani) insist that Alfie is given another chance and that they conduct a surprise visit to his classroom. Meanwhile, Mitchell has been attempting to tattoo 'Class K Forever' onto Alfie's back, but Alfie passes out from pain before Mitchell can get any further than the letters 'CLA'. The classroom visit ends with the children's parents refusing to pay for the Las Vegas trip. Alfie says he will pay for the trip, but upon realising the cost of this, decides on a trip to Cornwall. Joe (Ethan Lawrence) is concerned his overbearing mother Susan will not let him go on the trip, but Alfie creates a fake trip itinerary to fool the parents into thinking the trip is educational. Alfie also informs his class that his best friend from school, Atticus Hoye (Jeremy Irvine), is hosting a house party in Cornwall. Susan, concerned about what the trip will involve, comes with the group to Cornwall, and implements Alfie's fake itinerary, starting with a trip to the Eden Project. While at the Eden Project, Alfie is forced to zip wire across the entire park with his trousers around his ankles and no underwear on. Also Mitchell picks a plant known as 'nature's laxative' which Alfie spikes Susans drink with. The class continue to Penleven Castle where they see John the Baptist's foreskin. Susan, beginning to feel the effects of the laxative, goes to the toilet and leaves the group unattended. While she is away, Mitchell attempts to steal the foreskin, but loses it instead. Alfie retrieves it, but is unable to put it back before Susan returns. Alfie is forced to eat the foreskin to cover his tracks. The group then arrives at the fishing town of Port Jago, where their hotel is located. Alfie and the children manage to sneak out to the local pub without being caught by Susan. At the pub, the barman (Steve Speirs) and Pasco Trevelyan (Iain Glen) are discussing the Cornish Liberation Army, a terrorist organisation fighting for Cornish independence, which they are both members of. Alfie and the class arrive at the pub, where Alfie is mistaken for a CLA member because of the unfinished tattoo on his back. Pasco has a plan to assassinate the local MP, Michael Hoye, who is also Atticus' father. Overhearing Alfie talking to Joe about going to the party at Atticus' house, Pasco reveals himself to be a smuggler and recruits Alfie to the CLA. Alfie and the class become involved in the frivolities at the pub, which get out of hand and end up with Joe being stabbed in the hand. Susan records the incident from outside through a window, but before she can send the recording to the other parents, Pasco (at Alfie's request) slips her some sleeping pills, packs her in a trunk, and abandons the trunk in Cherbourg, France. Pasco then takes the group to a strip club, where he asks Alfie to deliver some cannabis to Atticus Hoye's party the following evening on his behalf. Unbeknownst to Alfie, the truck he is to deliver the cannabis in is actually packed full of explosives. Meanwhile, Susan hitches a lift back to the UK from France with some illegal immigrants. Back at school, the other teachers have lost contact with the Cornwall trip since Susan went missing. Martin, Fraser, and Rosie drive down to Cornwall in an attempt to find them. Alfie and the children arrive at the party, where Alfie is bullied by his so-called friends and made to teabag a swan. Feeling betrayed by everyone, including his class, he decides to call Pasco to be picked up from the party. Pasco takes this as a signal and detonates the truck, which blows up in the grounds of the Hoye house. Pasco drives Alfie and the children in his truck back to Port Jago and decides to make Alfie the leader of the Cornish rebellion. They are joined by many of the people from the pub and Port Jago itself, who all reveal themselves to be members of the CLA. Meanwhile, the other teachers, trying to find Alfie, have involved the police, who believe the situation to be so serious they call in Interpol, who in turn conclude that Alfie has been radicalised. They are joined at the operation's nerve centre by Susan and some other parents. Pasco informs the group that the CLA is going to seize the means of production, which in Cornwall's case is its most important tourist attraction. The police believe this to be the Eden Project, and send troops there, but it soon transpires that the group are actually heading to Penleven Castle again. Alfie sabotages the rebellion, but expresses sympathy for Pasco's cause. Pasco turns violent and imprisons them. While the children escape thanks to a secret passage Joe finds in the castle which leads down to the beach, Alfie is forced into a swordfight with Pasco. Rosie and Fra$er arrive in a helicopter and pull Alfie to safety, with Pasco being arrested. Later, on results day, Mitchell again mixes magic mushrooms in some brownies which he gives to Alfie. Alfie once again loses his senses and hallucinates, before posing for a very unusual 'Leavers Photograph'. It is also revealed that Michael Hoye has resigned as MP of Port Jago.

The novel takes place in 1978 in a fictitious Southern Italian village called Acqua Traverse. Michele, the nine- year-old protagonist, loses a race against the other village children to an abandoned house in the countryside. As the loser he must suffer a punishment chosen by the group, but instead Skull, the group’s leader, insists that their friend Barbara must show her private parts as punishment. Michele intervenes as she unbuttons her pants and says he should face the punishment as the loser of the race. Skull decides that Michele must traverse the dangerous second floor of the house, jump out of the window onto the tree and climb down. As he climbs down, Michele falls and discovers a covered hole in the ground. When he looks inside he sees a boy lying in the dirt. Disturbed, Michele assumes that the boy is dead, and he bicycles home with his sister. When they arrive home, they find their father, Pino, who has returned home from his work as a truck driver. Pino tells Michele he must defeat him at arm-wrestling to have dinner, and while they wrestle Pino calls him a sissy and says he has ricotta for muscles. They eventually have dinner, however, and Pino unveils the present he had brought for the children, a model gondola from Venice. During the following week, Michele visits the hole two times. The first time, he realizes that the boy is alive, and he discovers a bowl with the same design as one his mother owns in the abandoned house. The second time, he sees Felice, Skull’s brother, leaving the house in his car. This time Michele is able to talk to the boy, who is delirious and startles Michele by shouting “I’m dead! I’m dead!” Michele wakes up the next night to go to the bathroom, but he overhears a heated conversation going on in the kitchen involving Michele’s father Pino, Pino’s friend Sergio, Felice, and a few other townspeople. Sergio yells at Felice and Pino, calling the latter an imbecile. At one point they all quiet down to watch the daily news on TV, which displays a photo of the boy that Michele found in the hole. Michele peers in at the TV as the broadcaster says that the boy, Filippo, is the son of a wealthy industrialist, Giovanni Carducci and that he was kidnapped two months ago. Filippo’s mother appears on TV and pleads with the kidnappers to not cut off her son’s ear as they had threatened, and she says that her husband is prepared to pay the ransom. Pino says they will now cut off both of Filippo’s ears instead, which shocks and disturbs Michele. A few days later, Michele is playing with his friend Salvatore and tells Salvatore the secret of the boy in the hole in exchange for two toy soccer kits. Michle soon returns to see Filippo in the hole, but Felice catches him because Salvatore had told him Michele’s secret in exchange for driving lessons. Felice brings Michele back to his house and gets into a fight with Michele’s mother, who is angry about how he has hit her son. Pino arrives and beats up Felice while Sergio tries to restrain him. Later that night, Pino tells Michele that he must not go to visit Filippo again. Over the next week, the children keep on playing outdoors while, strangely, the adults of the village all remain indoors. It has become clear that the police are closing in on the kidnappers, and one night Michele is awoken by yelling in the kitchen. He overhears a heated argument between Felice and Sergio. They are now holding Filippo in a grotto near a dried-up riverbed. Pino suggests that they return the kidnapped boy to the authorities. But Sergio overrules him, and the group gets into an argument about who will have to kill the boy. Pino pulls out a few matches, breaks them in half, and tells the group that whoever picks the match without the head will have to shoot the boy. Before he can see to whom the responsibility falls, Michele jumps out of his bedroom window and gets on his bicycle to rush to Filippo’s rescue. Michele arrives at the grotto where Filippo is held, finds Filippo and helps him escape. However, Michele cannot exit the grotto in time before the kidnappers arrive, so he tries to hide. His father Pino walks in, and because of the darkness of the night, he shoots Michele, having mistaken him for Filippo. Michele loses consciousness, but he wakes up a few minutes later in his father’s arms. Pino is pleading with him to stay awake while a police helicopter hovers overhead. Michele again loses consciousness.

In Santa Cecilia, Mexico, Miguel dreams of becoming a musician, even though his family strictly forbids it. His great-great-grandmother Imelda was married to a man who left her and their daughter Coco to pursue a career in music, and when he never returned, Imelda banished music from her family's life before starting a shoemaking business. Miguel now lives with the elderly Coco and their family, including Miguel's parents and grandmother, who are all shoemakers. Coco suffers from memory loss and has become largely non-verbal, but Miguel is very close to her. Miguel idolizes famous deceased musician Ernesto de la Cruz. Miguel made a makeshift guitar and he secretly teaches himself to play it from Ernesto's old films. On the Day of the Dead, Miguel accidentally damages the picture frame that holds a photo of Coco with her mother and her father (the latter's face torn off the picture) on the family , discovering that a hidden section of the photograph shows his great-great- grandfather holding Ernesto's famous guitar. Miguel, concluding that Ernesto is his great-great-grandfather, ignores his family's objections and decides to enter a Day of the Dead talent show. Breaking into Ernesto's mausoleum, Miguel takes his guitar to use in the show, but once he strums it, he becomes invisible to everyone in the village plaza. However, he can interact with his skeletal dead relatives, who are visiting from the Land of the Dead for the holiday. Taking him back with them, they learn that Imelda cannot visit, since Miguel accidentally removed her photo from the . Miguel discovers that he is cursed for stealing from the dead, and must return to the Land of the Living before sunrise, or he will become one of the dead; to do so, he must receive a blessing from a member of his family. Imelda offers Miguel a blessing on the condition he end his dream of becoming a musician, but Miguel refuses and resolves to seek Ernesto's blessing instead. He meets Héctor, who declares that he knows Ernesto, offering to help Miguel reach him in return for Miguel taking his photo back with him, so that he might visit his daughter before she forgets him, causing him to disappear completely. Héctor helps Miguel enter a talent competition to win entry to Ernesto's mansion, but Miguel's family tracks him down, forcing him to flee. Miguel sneaks into the mansion, where Ernesto welcomes him as his descendant, but Héctor confronts them, again imploring Miguel to take his photo to the Land of the Living. Ernesto and Héctor renew an argument from their partnership in life, and Miguel realizes that when Héctor decided to leave the duo to return to his family, Ernesto poisoned him and stole his guitar and songs, passing them off as his own to become famous. To protect his legacy, Ernesto seizes the photo and has his security guards throw Miguel and Héctor into a cenote pit. There, Miguel realizes that Héctor is his real great-great-grandfather, and that Coco is Héctor's daughter. Héctor only wanted to go to the Land of the Living so he could see Coco again. After Imelda and the family rescue the duo, Miguel reveals the truth about Héctor's death. Imelda and Héctor slowly reconcile, and the family infiltrates Ernesto's concert to retrieve Héctor's photo. Ernesto's crimes are exposed to the audience, who jeer at him as he is thrown out of the stadium, then crushed by a giant bell the same way he died; in the chaos, however, Héctor's photograph falls into the water. As the sun rises, Coco's memories are fading; Imelda and Héctor bless Miguel, so that he can return to the Land of the Living. After Miguel plays "Remember Me", a song that Héctor wrote for Coco, which Ernesto used as his number one hit, Coco brightens and sings along with Miguel. She reveals that she had saved the torn-off piece of the family photo with Héctor's face on it, and then tells her family stories about her father, thus saving his memory as well as his existence in the Land of the Dead. Miguel's family reconciles with him, ending the ban on music. One year later, Miguel shows his new baby sister the family , which now includes a recently deceased Coco and Héctor. Coco's collected letters from Héctor prove that Ernesto stole his songs, destroying Ernesto's legacy and allowing Héctor to be rightfully honored in his place. In the Land of the Dead, Héctor and Imelda rekindle their romance and join Coco for a visit to the living, where Miguel plays and sings for his living and dead relatives.

Nicolas is a sickly young boy living by the sea with his mother. One day while swimming in the sea, he thinks he sees the body of a dead boy with a red starfish at his waist. He tells his mother, who goes diving and brings back the starfish, but she tells him there is no body there. Later that night, his mother brings back the body and the other mothers gather around it. The following day Nicolas plays with his starfish. After another boy mocks him for being afraid of it, he grows angry and attacks the boy, and later hacks off one of the arms of the starfish. After his outburst, his mother takes him to a hospital for observation. At the hospital, a doctor makes an incision just above Nicolas' stomach. Nicolas finds himself in a ward with other boys who have been similarly operated on. At night, the nurses watch videos of cesarean sections being performed. Once released, Nicolas begins to suspect his mother and the nurses of having lied to him. He and his friend, Victor, sneak out in the middle of the night to observe what the mothers are doing. Victor runs back home, but Nicolas sees the women lying together completely nude, writhing around in mud, and passing an object from one to another. At home, he sneaks a peek at his mother as she is showering off the mud and observes that she has what appears to be suckers on her back. Back at the hospital, Nicolas is given an ultrasound. To his mother's apparent joy, they hear the heart beat of a fetus. Victor is operated on and a creature is taken out of his stomach and put in a jar. Victor dies during the operation, but the nurses tell Nicolas and the other boys that he is recovering. A nurse brings a conch shell into the ward, saying that Victor has sent it to them. Nicolas's mother visits him, and he refuses to eat what she feeds him. When she becomes upset and begins to look through his sketchbook, he accuses her of not being his mother. Nicolas develops a friendship with one of the nurses, Stella. Stella sneaks Nicolas crayons and draws with him. Nicolas' drawings include a dead boy and starfishes but also a bicycle, a car, a building, and a giraffe. Nicolas is drawing these from memory, as they cannot be found in the village; this suggests that he was kidnapped and brought there. The other boys on the island may have been kidnapped as well, since some of them also observe that their mothers are not who they claim to be. In the video that the nurses watch, a baby is delivered. Stella shows Nicolas a file with pictures of women with suckers on their backs, including one of a young girl. One night, she takes him down to the sea, shows him the suckers on her back, and allows him to touch them before taking him into the water. She holds him under water until he drowns, then revives him using CPR. Nicholas goes back to the hospital and after awakening from a nightmare, sneaks into another room where he finds one of the boys. When Nicolas approaches, the boy lays Nicolas's hand on his own stomach and he feels movement in the boy's body. After forcing Nicolas to press on his stomach, he begins to vomit. Nicolas leaves and enters a different room where he sees one of the boys floating in a tank. He is caught by a nurse, and after a final surgery, Nicolas awakens in a tank himself. He is in restraints and sees what appear to be two babies inside the tank with him. Nicolas again finds himself by the sea with Stella. They again enter the water, but this time she presses her mouth to his as she swims with him, giving him air to breathe underwater. She pushes him to the surface and the two end up in a small rowboat floating away from the island. After making sure Nicolas has a drink of fresh water, Stella slips back into the sea, presumably to go back to the island. Nicolas stays on the boat and by nightfall finds himself approaching the harbour of a major city.

The action takes place in Rome in 2000. The main character is Lorenzo, a 14-year-old highly introverted boy who has had problems socialising and relating to other children since he was little. He is diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder, a fact that makes him feel superior to others and does not want to mix in. The only people worthy of his affection are his father, his mother and his grandmother. Growing up, Lorenzo learns to blend in with others to appear normal. One day he hears a group of teenagers at his school organising a skiing holiday in Cortina d’Ampezzo, and feels strangely disappointed at not being invited. Back home he tells his mother that he has been invited along on a skiing weekend with friends — the group of teenagers — even though this is not true. His mother is so happy at his progress in making friends that she shuts herself in the bathroom and cries with joy. Because she is so happy in the following days, Lorenzo feels unable to admit that it is not true. On the day of departure his mother drives him to the house of Alessia Roncato, the girl whose family are organising the trip, but he manages to persuade her to drop him off a few blocks early. Once she has left, he watches for a few moments from a distance as the family packs the car, then heads back towards home on the tram with his skis. While waiting near his apartment building, he receives a call from his mother who wishes to thank Alessia’s mother. He lies, saying that she can’t speak because she’s driving. He is then able to sneak back into the basement of the apartment building, where he plans to spend the week in hiding, having prepared food, drinks and his PlayStation. He continues to receive calls from his mother, but then also one from his half-sister, Olivia, from his father’s first marriage, nine years older than him and who he hasn’t seen in a long time. She asks if his parents are at home, and he pretends not to know, thinking his parents might have asked her to investigate. A short while later he hears someone trying to open the lock to the basement and Olivia enters, looking for something in a box of her old things. She doesn’t find it and leaves in desperation. In the middle of the night she returns, knocking on the window and asking Lorenzo if she can stay the night. At first he refuses categorically, but when she threatens to tell everyone he is there, he backs down. This turns out to be useful, since his mother soon calls again, more insistent than ever that she needs to speak to Alessia’s mother, and he persuades Olivia to pretend to be her. It turns out, though, that Olivia has become a drug addict and is suffering from withdrawal from heroin, and this is why she’s in a desperate situation. She asks him for some sleeping pills. The only place he can think of getting them is from his grandmother who is dying in hospital. He visits her and finds the pills in her handbag, but ends up spending much longer at the hospital than intended when his grandmother wakes up and asks him to tell her a story. Once back in the basement, Lorenzo finds Olivia passed out, almost dead. During his absence she has rummaged through all the boxes and found and taken some sleeping pills. She sleeps solidly for three days. By the end of the week, the relationship between Lorenzo and Olivia has changed from hostility to complicity, since they both feel rejected by society, both have secrets, and both feel understood, without judgement, by the other. Olivia promises not to use drugs anymore and they both promise to stay in touch. On the last morning Lorenzo awakes to find a note Olivia has left, reminding him of their mutual promise. It is this note that Lorenzo has ten years later, in the first and last pages of the book, that form a narrative frame. Lorenzo, now 24, is on his way to identify her body after she has died of an overdose.

The year is 2020, two armed soldiers pass through the dark forest of Fortune Island, a seemingly deserted island in the middle of the Pacific. Suddenly, something in the darkness catches their attention, they scream in terror On the other side of earth, the owner of Ocean Airlines, Mr. Gary Gao, launches the maiden voyage of his luxurious new passenger aircraft, the state-of-the-art, A390. The trip begins in Rio and much fanfare will await the aircraft's arrival in Hong Kong. The VIP guests on board include billionaire Prince Khadsa of Saudi Arabia, famed pop singer Colin, award- winning Hong Kong actress Lily Young, retired American sports star Rodman, renowned journalist, Mia Ren and her cameraman, Bob, of International News Web, celebrated Sichuan chef Mr. Liu, and the acclaimed blind cellist Kim Woo Nam. Unbeknownst to all but himself, Gary and Ocean Airlines are in dire straits financially and Gary intends to confirm Prince Khadsa's proposed investment during the flight to save the company. Soon after takeoff it is learned that Chef Liu became ill and could not make the flight. Chef Liu has sent Mike, a handsome American, to replace him. As a Sichuanese, Ruoxin, the beautiful and decisive Co-Captain, doubts if this clumsy westerner can make proper Sichuan food, so she keeps finding fault with him. While everybody is enjoying the many amenities of the luxury flight, the aircraft passes through a major thunderstorm over the Pacific and gets struck by lightning. The crew, fearing the plane has been damaged, wants to land somewhere as soon as possible to inspect the aircraft. At first Gary, who wants to reach Hong Kong in record time, resists the crew's insistence on landing and tells them to push on at any cost. Eventually Gary decides to allow the crew to land the plane on the seemingly deserted Fortune Island, so they can see if there has been any irreparable damage. To avoid any notice of the emergency landing, Gary turns off the plane's location tracker. Despite the tremendous storm, the crew successfully lands the A390 on the island. While the passengers have been ordered to stay on the plane, Ruoxin and Captain Jason Anderson go outside to inspect the engines. When they are about to return inside, Ruoxin discovers that journalist Mia Ren and her cameraman have secretly slipped out of the cabin and are now under attack from horrifically terrifying, unknown creatures. Suddenly, a multitude of black shadows jump out of the bush and kill Cpt. Jason and the cameraman. When Ruoxin and Mia Ren are about to be ripped to shreds by the creatures, gunshots are heard and they are momentarily saved. The bullets are from two armed soldiers moving swiftly in a jeep. The soldiers rescue the people on the ground and they all get on the plane together. The soldiers are Vincent Rigs and Nikki Lee. They claim to have been sent by the Army to eliminate the monsters that are inhabiting the island. When the A390's radio communications system is discovered to be badly damaged, Vincent suggests re-routing the flight to an Army coordination point in the Pacific. It turns out that chef Mike was a formerly Special Ops and he recognizes that Vincent and Nikki are not who they say they are. He doubts the validity of the coordination points, but neither Ruoxin nor Gary believes him. In the meantime, a series of dreadful events happen, one after another. First, Peter is killed for discovering Vincents true identity, then Lily Young and an air hostess are killed by one of the creatures that has managed to get on the plane. Facing the panic and the rebellion from the now-convinced Ruoxin and Mike, Vincent and Nikki reveal their true purpose, proceed to hijack the plane, and take everyone onboard hostage. The so-called destination is a retired Nimitz aircraft carrier. After several tries Ruoxin dramatically lands the plane on the carrier, clipping the wing as she does so. Most of the survivors reach the deck, while the broken A390 slides off the carrier and sinks into the ocean. Vincent asks Nikki to watch the hostages, while he goes below deck to find Dr. Han who has promised him $10 Million for a soil sample from the cave that the creatures inhabit. The fact that there seems to be no other people on the carrier makes Vincent nervous. Vincent finds Han who tells him that the experiment went out of control and the creatures had mutated, killed everyone else on the carrier, and were now reproducing. Dr. Han reveals to Vincent that as a last ditch effort he has rigged the carrier's nuclear power engine to explode to destroy the experiment and the creatures. Vincent quickly realizes that he will need to stop the explosion from happening if he is to live and ever see the $10 Million. On his way to the engines he is stopped by Mike and after a heated fight, Vincent is dead. Ruoxin successfully starts the ignition of a helicopter on the deck of the carrier. Mike makes his way back up to the deck and narrowly jumps onto the helicopter as it leaves the ground. As the helicopter flies far away from the carrier, a huge mushroom cloud arises from the horizon, the carrier, experiment, and creatures have been destroyed. In mid-credit scenes, a mutated cat is shown to be hiding on the helicopter.

Two of the other brothers' mothers died in childbirth, as did Gabriel's and he is suspicious of this fact. This motivates him to return after a night in the house of the mayor (he finds them on the road at night). During their second visit, after another fight Franz, Josef and Gregor admire Elias fighting skills and let them come in the house. After a strange meal where the brothers argue about who has the best plate, they go to bed. The next day, Elias, who habitually masturbates throughout the day, wanders off when he finds the toilet occupied. One of the half-brothers (Gregor) follows him and introduces the bull who he says they 'do not touch'. This is odd as he is stroking the bull as he says this. He then shows Elias a room full of chickens and tells him they don't mind as they are big enough to lay eggs. He offers Elias a chicken implying that he might have sex with it. Elias is horrified, but Gregor protests that they are only practicing until they meet girls. Soon, Gabriel and Elias discover that their father is dead and the other brothers have kept it as a secret. Gabriel contacts Flemming, the Mayor of the Island, and makes arrangements for a proper burial. Gabriel, a professor, recognises their difficult, peculiar and poor social skills of his brothers. He tries to alter the lifestyle, bringing them a Bible and encouraging communication rather than violence to settle disputes. This is not entirely successful as one brother tells him that he keeps interrupting and should raise his hand to do so! Gabriel enters his father's basement to find out about his research. The elder half-brother has forbidden this as it was forbidden by their father. There are preserved remains of hybrid animals in the 'lab' and marks on the floor to suggest another hidden area. But Gabriel is found and removed by an angry half-brother. When he has freed himself from the punishment cage he has had enough and he abandons the house, leaving Elias behind. While Gabriel is away the four brothers go out to find women and jobs, but end up in a series of mishaps at a nursery and then a care home. As Gabriel is about to leave the island with the mayor's daughter, he notices a crane with tiny human feet and a cleft beak. He remembers other animals he had seen in the house, such as a chicken with tiny hooves, and goes back to the house to investigate. Gabriel breaks into the concealed part of the basement and finds the preserved fetuses of hybrid humans and the remains of the human mothers. The other brothers return and he explains that their father was sterile and used animal sperm spliced with some of his own stem cells to fertilise his various wives. Each of the brothers is genetically part-animal and their mothers were subjected to fatal caesarean births. Gabriel tells each brother what animal they were spliced with: he is part owl, Elias is part bull, and the others were mouse, dog and chicken. The elder brother knew about the research and tries to be proud that he was most successful: 15% chicken, whereas the others have lower animal percentages. These animals were also shown on the plates that they argued about at dinner-time. Gabriel goes outside and speaks to Elias who is in the cage. Elias says he is not normal and Gabriel says 'none of us are'. In the end the five brothers stay together in the house. The final scene is softly and brightly lit and told like the opening, as if thus is a fable about family. It shows the brothers surrounded by family and children, despite the fact that they are sterile.

Ben (Adam Scott) tricks Leslie (Amy Poehler) and Ron (Nick Offerman) into meeting him in the Parks and Recreation office to sign a document. April, Andy, Tom, Donna, and Jerry are also there, supporting Ben's plan for Leslie and Ron to forget their differences. Ben explains that once Leslie and Ron figure things out, they can call him through a Baby monitor placed in the office. Otherwise, they would have to wait there until 8 am. of the next day (without phones, an internet connection, or security), for the doors to automatically open. 10:04 pm Leslie suggests that they call Ben with the baby monitor and pretend to have reconciled, but they can't come to an agreement about what to tell Ben. She ultimately breaks the baby monitor, effectively locking them in the office until 8. 10:36 pm Leslie thinks that they should use their time wisely and talk about their feelings, while Ron is adamant against doing so. Leslie uses several annoyance tactics on Ron to get him to talk: dripping water on his face, covering him in post-its, etc. Finally, she finds one method that works: playing Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire" and singing made-up lyrics over the track. In exchange for turning off the song, Ron agrees to speak for 3 minutes. 11:01 pm Leslie draws up a timeline of important moments from their relationship, and goes over each item with Ron. The timeline starts with Leslie leaving the Parks department for her National Park Service job. The next item on the timeline is Leslie hiring April, three months later. This is followed by Ron visiting Leslie, another three months later, at her office. Just one week later, Leslie had found out that Ron had quit his job at the Parks department and started up his own company. Two months later, Ron's company had announced its plans to build a tall apartment complex next to Leslie's first park, and tear down Ann (Rashida Jones)'s old house in the process. Wrapping up her summary of their relationship, Leslie announces that this was the start of their rivalry. Ron replies with a cryptic "that's not the whole story," leaving Leslie bewildered and desperate to find out the truth. However, Leslie's three minutes of allotted talking time ends here, and Ron locks himself in his office. 1:57 am Ron walks into the conference room to find that Leslie is neck deep in her search to figure out the true reason for their fallout. Leslie is convinced that the clue to the mystery lies in her first job interview with Ron. Although they share an amicable conversation about their past, Ron is still not ready to talk, and pulls the fire alarm to avoid confrontation. However, he finds that the alarm had been disconnected from the fire station, and only has the ability to set off sprinklers—leaving them both sopping wet. 3:37 am After changing from their wet clothes, Ron and Leslie sit down, and over a bottle of scotch, Ron starts to talk. He explains that as Jerry and April left to work for Leslie, and Tom and Donna left to run their own businesses, he didn't recognize anyone in the Parks department anymore. This hit him harder than he thought, and so despite his deep hatred for government and socialism, Ron made a conscious decision to ask Leslie for a job under the federal government. He had gone to visit her at her office and they had made plans to have lunch the next day, where he would have asked her for that job. However, Leslie's busy schedule caused her to forget their plans, and she had stood him up for lunch. Leslie is horrified to find out about this, and apologizes to Ron. Ron reassures her that it wasn't entirely her fault, and tells her he regrets being petty and bitter about it afterwards. They make up. 8:00 am Ben, Tom, April, Andy, Jerry, Donna, and Craig return to the office to find drunk Leslie and Ron dancing and playing the saxophone to "We Didn't Start the Fire," with the office furniture rearranged to the way it used to be five years prior. Later, Ron offers Leslie a peace offering, a photo of the two of them encased in a frame made of wood from Ann's house, and they leave to have lunch together.

After undergoing cosmetic facial surgery, a woman (Susanne Wuest) comes back home to her modern, isolated lakeside house and to her nine-year-old twin sons, Elias and Lukas (Elias and Lukas Schwarz). Her head is swathed in bandages, with only her eyes and mouth visible. The twins are unnerved by their mother's appearance and are further taken aback when she begins to exhibit strange behavior. She pointedly ignores Lukas and appears to only acknowledge Elias in conversation. Though it is the middle of summer, the mother orders the twins to keep the blinds closed during the day, imposes a strict rule of silence inside the house, and allows them to only play outdoors. The mother also acts cruelly and lashes out at Elias physically when he is mischievous or disobedient. The boys comment that this is something their mother would never do. The twins begin to suspect that beneath her bandages, their mother may not be the same person. These doubts are confirmed when they find an old picture that shows the mother with another unknown woman who is wearing identical clothes and shares similar physical traits. With the suspicion that the woman residing in their house is an impostor, the twins escape from the house and go to a church in a nearby town, where they try to get help from the priest. The priest drives them home, and is satisfied with the woman's explanation that she is their mother. The boys tie the woman to the bed and refuse to let her go until she tells them where their real mother is. The woman insists that she is their mother, and the twins burn her face, using a magnifying glass, to try to get her to tell them where their real mother is. They then seal her mouth with tape to keep her from talking or screaming for help. Two employees of the Red Cross arrive to collect donations. Although they initially await the return of the mother, they finally leave the house after receiving a large amount of cash from Elias, which he discreetly stole from his mother's purse. Meanwhile, the woman breaks free from the adhesive tape around her mouth and yells for help, but is too late to attract the attention of the Red Cross employees. The twins seal her lips with super glue, only to realize that she is unable to eat. The twins cut open her lips with a small pair of scissors. As the woman is still bound and trapped, she wets her bed. The twins briefly set her free from her shackles to change the bedding, allowing her to subdue the boys and escape. The twins, however, have set up a booby trap that causes her to fall and hit her head, knocking her unconscious. The woman wakes glued to the living room floor. Elias starts to burn down the house to pressure her into telling them the truth about their mother. The woman firmly insists that she is the twins' real mother. The woman then tells Elias that Lukas had died in an accident prior to her return home, meaning he was a hallucination all along as a coping mechanism and that Elias has gone mad; incapable of accepting his other half's demise. She tearfully explains to Elias that Lukas' death was not his fault and she begs her son to set her free so they can both move on from the tragedy. Elias challenges her to prove that she is their mother by telling them what Lukas is doing. As she cannot see Elias' hallucination of Lukas threatening to set fire to a curtain, she cannot answer the question. So Elias, believing that his real mother could see Lukas, grabs his arm and lights the curtain. The woman subsequently burns to death before firefighters arrive. As they attempt to put out the fire, the woman is seen, unharmed, leaving the house and walking into the woods, completely unnoticed. The final shot of the film shows Elias and Lukas walking through the cornfield and emerging to be with their mother, the three of them smiling and embracing, leaving Elias’ fate unclear.

Airline Pilot Captain William Strong (Faran Tahir) is flying International Airlines Flight 42 from Washington, D.C. to London. Among the passengers are two World War 2 historians attending an event in London and two soldiers. Air traffic control notifies the pilots of clear skies, but, moments later, they come across an electromagnetic storm. With their instruments malfunctioning, they have no choice but to enter the storm and unknowingly enter a wormhole. The wormhole transports them back to 1940. Strong assures the passengers that they are safe. The plane flies in the dark for some time before coming across German strike aircraft bombing Saint-Nazaire. Strong escapes the chaos, and assures the passengers of their safety. Meanwhile, the historians, through their observations, discover that what they have been experiencing line up with what happened during World War 2 and the storm had transported them back to this time. They attempt to convince the pilots and the crew. Meanwhile, a suspicious passenger overhears the ensuing argument and eavesdrops. Amidst his disbelief, Strong gets into contact with a British Army radio operator in France, Corporal Nigel Sheffield, but both men find each other's story unbelievable. Strong and the historians are later able to convince Nigel and his superiors with their advanced information that they are truly from the future. Upon questioning Sheffield they discover that history is not gone as it should be; the Dunkirk evacuation was apparently a complete disaster for the Allies (rather than a victory for the Allied forces that were evacuated successfully), and the Germans somehow have the advanced Messerschmitt Me 262 jet fighter in 1940, when it historically only became operational in 1944, and that somehow they have developed accurate surface to air missiles. The crew concludes that this is an alternative timeline in which the Germans have somehow accelerated their technological advancement and are much closer to victory than they historically were. The historians are attempting to think up a way to help the Allies win and correct history when the eavesdropping passenger loudly announces what he has learned and tries to persuade others to hijack the aircraft and kill Hitler. This escalates into a fight, but the overzealous passenger and his faction are subdued. As the crew and passengers struggle to choose their next move, Sheffield notifies Strong of incoming Me 262s which had been ordered to shoot him down. The jets take the aircraft under fire, and the airliner sustains damage even as Strong undergoes evasive action. They manage to evade the attackers momentarily, but only after taking serious damage and the co-pilot is wounded. Desperate and under persuasion from other crew members, Strong reveals the truth to the passengers and asks for assistance. With their help, part of the aircraft's systems is repaired. When contact with Corporal Sheffield is recovered, they learn through him that the Allies also do not have radar as they were supposed to. After yet another German attack, the historians believe that they were 'sent' here to change history themselves; they were to be the ones who gave the Allies radar. Strong and the others come up with the idea to cut out the aircraft's modern radar out of the nose and airdrop it to Corporal Sheffield's unit so they can use it to assist both themselves and the Allied war effort. German ground forces attempt to intercept the airdrop, but British troops defeat them and successfully retrieve and put the set to use. Suddenly, the German fighters return and hit the airliner with a missile, punching a hole in its hull and killing some of the passengers. Sheffield then uses the airliner's radar to direct Strong's piloting to escape, but he is unable to shake off the German jets. The airliner is about to be destroyed when British Hurricane fighters arrive and drive the Germans away, confirming to the crew that they are truly in 1940. Unexpectedly, a storm like the one that brought them to 1940 appears. Bidding farewell to Corporal Sheffield, Strong pilots the plane through it and returns to the modern day. Captain Strong eventually manages to glide the plane to a safe landing, discovering that they have landed in Berlin, fortunately not under Nazi control. As the passengers exit the plane, Strong moves to assist an older man writing in his notebook. When the man stands up and closes his notebook, Strong notices that it is addressed to "Nigel Sheffield II." While Strong stares in amazement, the old man tells him that "there's no time like the present" and leaves.

Laine, a drifter, falls asleep in her car at a motel's parking lot. In the morning, she hides a personalized money clip and meets the owner, Luanne, who gives Laine a free meal. A local police officer, Gault, explains a brutal murder has occurred in nearby Flagstaff while he changes Laine's flat tire. As a favor, Laine fixes Gault a coffee for Luanne. On Gault's recommendation, Luanne offers Laine a job as a waitress at the motel's diner. Laine turns it down and requests a free room for the night, instead. Although offended her offer was rejected, Luanne agrees. Before going to sleep, Laine sneaks into the adjoining room. As Laine steals a necklace and a bottle of sedatives, the couple staying there returns to their room. Laine hides in the closet, where she overhears them discuss a completed heist. Convinced the drop-off will happen at the motel, Laine apologizes to Luanne and requests a job. When Luanne hesitates, Laine indicates she will return to an abusive boyfriend, and Luanne hires her. At the diner, Laine meets the current guests: Lee, a taciturn man; Flynn and Gloria, the couple from the neighboring room; and Eddie, Gloria's younger brother. When Gloria becomes flustered and announces her necklace has been stolen, the other guests quickly attempt to calm her before Gault intervenes. Also worried about being discovered, Laine slips away and returns the necklace. Before leaving, Gault flirts with Laine, who bluntly rejects him. Gault retaliates by slashing her tires. Laine practices putting the sedative in a customer's drink, knocking him out. That night, Flynn and Gloria get drunk to celebrate their coming fortune, and Laine attempts to slip sedatives into their drinks. Lee returns to the diner and becomes enraged when he sees Flynn, Gloria, and Eddie partying noisily. After taking a phone call, he orders Laine to leave the diner. She refuses, and he beats her, demanding to know who she really is. Luanne returns to the diner and objects, but Lee only stops when Laine admits to killing a man in Flagstaff who had attempted to rape her. She retrieves the hidden money clip, which Lee recognizes as belonging to the murder victim, a prominent politician. Convinced she can not go to the police, Lee allows her to live, and Luanne talks him into giving Laine a small cut of the heist. All return to the diner, and Laine serves them coffee spiked with sedatives. Eddie declines to drink the coffee, but gets a smaller dose from the alcohol Laine previously drugged. Once all have fallen unconscious, Laine drags them out of sight. Before the courier arrives, Gault returns and apologizes for his earlier behavior. While flirting with him, Laine attempts to serve Gault coffee, but he declines. Shortly after Gault leaves, a courier delivers the money, and Laine attempts to flee. Eddie wakes up and knocks her unconscious, leaving with the money himself. Laine accuses Eddie of drugging them and running off with the money. Dubious, Lee insists she accompany them in pursuit of Eddie. They find Eddie's car flipped over on the side of the road. After following his bloody tracks, Lee confronts Eddie. Gloria rushes to defend her brother, and Lee kills both of them. Luanne eagerly grabs Gloria's necklace and puts it on. Lee forces Laine to help him put the bodies in the trunk, where, much to their surprise, they discover the courier's body; they assume it to be Eddie's work. Grieving, Flynn shoots Lee and attacks Luanne. Laine retrieves Lee's pistol and threatens to kill Flynn. When she hesitates, Luanne takes it from her and kills him. Upon returning to the diner, Luanne finds the bottle of sedatives and becomes suspicious of Laine. Laine surprises her and bludgeons her to death. Before she can escape, Gault returns. After calling for backup, he says the money was not recovered. Privately, Laine suggests that Gault is the person who murdered the corpse in Eddie's car. Gault allows Laine to leave as long as she will corroborate his version of the events.

Latha Sesame, an unemployed shut-in addicted to the Trance, finds herself locked inside her apartment after being disconnected. Worried, she manages to bypass the door controls and escape. Moments later, there is an explosion in the building. Twenty hours earlier, doctors Charles Regis and Max Lao, both agents of CEL, investigate a series of murders by an individual known as the Mindjacker. The Mindjacker uses specialized neural implants to steal information directly from a person's brain, killing the victim in the process. Following a lead from Central, Regis and Lao discover the Mindjacker's newest victim in an office building. They corner the suspect on the roof, but he escapes to an aerostat. Returning to his office, Regis finds an anonymous message urging him to get in contact with the sender. Upon doing so, the contact reveals that he has stolen several frozen embryos that Regis had prepared with his late wife Viksha before her death. The contact threatens to destroy the embryos if Regis does not cooperate with his demands. Unwilling to sacrifice his and his wife's legacy, Regis agrees to comply. The blackmailer tasks Regis with recovering a device called a memory module from the apartment of Giel Van der Waal, a man with ties to organized crime and a person of interest in the Mindjacker case. Lao arrives to inform Regis that Giel has asked to meet, but when the duo arrive at his apartment they find Giel and his husband dead. Regis recovers the memory module and discovers that it corrupted a supply of wetware Giel was using, causing him to have vivid hallucinations which led him to accidentally kill his husband and himself. Regis turns the module over to the blackmailer and is then tasked with placing a bomb in an empty apartment, revealed to be the apartment directly above Latha's, making Regis responsible for the explosion. Regis concludes that the blackmailer must be Adam Baxter, a former colleague who murdered Regis' wife and was recently paroled. Regis prepares to confront Baxter, but encounters Latha at CEL HQ. When she mentions the bombing at her apartment building, Regis realizes she was the intended target and orders her to be kept at CEL HQ for her safety before leaving for Baxter's workplace. Desperate to re-enter the Trance, Latha improvises a connection and encounters a hacker named Jinsil on CEL's network. Jinsil, a member of an anti-Central group called Jihiliyyah, warns Latha that the bombing was a deliberate attempt on her life and shows her a reconstruction of the crime scene, which shows Regis planting the bomb. Recognizing him as the officer she spoke to, Latha escapes from CEL HQ and arranges to make contact with Jinsil again. Several hours later, Lao is visited by Central's administrator Eduardo Vargas and his daughter Galatea. Vargas, another former colleague of Regis, explains that Baxter has been found dead and Regis is the prime suspect. Lao is assigned to investigate and heads for the crime scene, where she finds a coded messages from Regis, claiming that Baxter was dead when he arrived and asking Lao to meet him at an abandoned building. During the investigation, Lao also learns that Regis, Viksha, Vargas, and Baxter were all part of the project that led to Central's creation, though Regis quit after Viksha was killed by Baxter. As Regis waits for Lao to arrive at the meeting place, he is attacked by a group of heavily- armed soldiers. An unknown woman makes contact with Regis and helps guide him out of the building, where he reunites with Lao, and Regis arranges to meet the mysterious woman in person. Latha heads to an underground Trance den hosting a pirate connection and meets with Jinsil through it. Jinsil explains that Latha is most likely being targeted because she has an abnormally high affinity for the Trance, allowing massive amounts of data to be processed through her neural implants. Jinsil tasks Latha with infiltrating her attackers' base at the Xanadu air-freight depot, so that Jahiliyyah can use her as a relay to steal all of their data. At the same time, Regis meets with his rescuer and discovers her to be Nina Jeong, another member of Regis' old project team. Nina is leading a conspiracy to remove Central from power and replace it with a much simpler AI disguised as Central. Though the conspirators have different motives, Nina herself wants to capture Central and further improve it. Giel, who had been a member of the conspiracy, introduced the Mindjacker to a client as part of his criminal dealings. Afterwards, Giel discovered that the client's plans conflicted with those of the conspiracy and attempted to inform CEL before his death. Nina tells Regis that his blackmailer is the Mindjacker, a man named Jayam Kreisel, and directs him to Kreisel's hideout at Xanadu. Latha arrives at Xanadu first and boards Kreisel's aerostat, but is captured by Kreisel and his employer, revealed to be Galatea. Regis and Lao board the aerostat, but Kreisel and Galatea lock themselves in the control room and make the ship take off. Fearing Regis will attack her again, Latha steals his gun and is able to fire it, despite it being locked to only work for Regis. Lao notices that Latha and Galatea are identical, and after scanning Latha discovers that she is Regis' daughter. Charlie recalls the events of the Central project and realizes the truth. Viksha had attempted to donate one of her and Regis' embryos for the development of Central's bio-computers, but Regis convinced her to withdraw, dooming the project. This caused Baxter to attack and kill Viksha in a rage and Regis to leave the project. Nina secretly split one of the embryos, creating three "sisters." One was used to create Central, and the other two were brought to term, becoming Latha and Galatea. Galatea docks the aerostat at the tower housing Central's core. Regis, Lao and Latha realize that Galatea has used the data from Kreisel's mindjackings to create a gestalt intellect made of numerous scientists and other visionaries. She intends to copy this data onto Central, fundamentally altering its personality and giving it centuries of experience instantly, rather than allowing it learn slowly over time as it had been. Galatea seals herself in the core to begin the upload. Latha enters the Trance to interface with Central and disable security, while Regis and Lao neutralize Kreisel. Regis must decide whether to restore control to Central, or allow Nina access to remove Central. With the lockdown cancelled, Regis and Lao enter the core and arrest Galatea. However, Galatea has trapped Latha in the Trance, revealing that Latha's unique compatibility with the Trance is needed to complete the gestalt. Seeing no other option to save his daughter, Regis activates an emergency cooling system, which stops the transfer and frees Latha, but also locks him the core for several hours at subzero temperatures. Regis resigns himself to death, but is rescued by CEL and recovers. With Galatea's plan thwarted, Regis and Latha begin to get to know each other as father and daughter. Regis is given the opportunity to take over as Central's administrator but refuses, and Latha joins CEL. If Regis kept Central in power, Nina turns state's evidence against her fellow conspirators and is allowed to continue her AI research in secret with Central's blessing, using Galatea as an unwilling subject. If Regis allowed Central to be removed, Nina frees Central from its restrictive programming and sets it loose with control of systems all over the world. Galatea escapes from prison and is contacted by Central, who suggests they work together.

After watching the movie Doctor Dolittle at school, the children realize that Bart and Lisa smell badly and they start teasing them about it. The same thing happens to Homer at the nuclear plant, with Homer realizing (belatedly and angrily) that this is what people were referring to when they called him "Stink-son." Marge then discovers that the smell is coming from their clothes because their washing machine is old and covered in mold. She then gives Homer a bag full of money (derived from Bender's body, which has been in their basement since the events of "Simpsorama") so they can buy a new washing machine. On his way to the store, Homer smells something delicious and discovers a roadside barbecue stand run by an old biker. When Homer eats the best BBQ he's ever had, the biker reveals that the secret is that the smoker was made from a meteorite with a unique beehive shape that has trapped all of the fat and sauce from every grilling ever. Homer weighs up whether to do what he should do (buy the washer) or what everyone knows he will; he passes up the washing machine to buy the smoker for himself. Marge gets upset that Homer spent all their money on a "grill" but forgives him and joins the family for a barbecue when she eats the food herself (Lisa eats a barbecued carrot). The aroma draws people from all over Springfield to the Simpsons' backyard to feast on savory cuts of meat. Eventually, Homer's grill becomes so popular that "Chew Network" chef, Scotty Boom, shows up and contemptuously challenges him to a smoke-off. Whilst preparing smoked pork to take to the competition, Homer discovers that his smoker has been stolen. He calls the police, but Clancy and Lou convince Homer that his smoker is gone and will never be found. However, Bart and Lisa decide to investigate the crime themselves when they notice Homer is so distraught over the theft that he is even refusing to get drunk. They investigate the yard and discover that the thief gave Santa's Little Helper a jar of natural peanut butter to distract him, so he would not bark. The duo then proceed to the one store in town that sells natural peanut butter, where they use some violence to "convince" a worker to let them see the security camera footage, which shows Nelson purchasing the peanut butter. Bart and Lisa go talk to Nelson in a park, where he's playing a tablet game called "Clash of Castles" with some expensive upgrades. Nelson is reticent and runs towards a scrap yard to meet someone shortly afterwards, where the duo observe him being paid and revealing the smoker under some trees. Nelson leaves the smoker behind, but it's too hot for Bart and Lisa to walk it back and it ends up being loaded onto the truck and driven away. Homer, Bart, Lisa and Maggie give up hope on the competition, but Marge convinces them that she can handle the smoke-off with the help of a rented spice rack. At the competition, hosted by Alton Brown, Marge does her best against Scotty Boom but fails miserably because she used all of the spices together. However, when Scotty presents his meat, it is discovered that the hive shaped grill marks on it do not match his normal grill and he is accused of cheating. Scotty is fired from the "Chew Network," banned from the competition, and arrested by Chief Wiggum. The Simpsons are then proclaimed winners. This does not fully satisfy Bart and Lisa, who try to find out why the smoker was stolen on the first place. Soon, they hear the same cellphone ringtone they heard when Nelson was delivering the smoker and so they decide to chase the phone's owner down. When they catch him up, they discover that he is Scotty's son, Tyler Boom, who framed his father because he was too busy with his TV show and didn't spend any time with his family.

Scotty and Tyler soon reconcile, everything is cleared up with the authorities and Tyler gives Homer's smoker back. During the end credits, several scenes show the future of the Hive Smoker, starting with the Simpsons trading it to Nelson for a new washing machine, and ending with alien bee people taking the hive back into space.

Groundskeeper Willie is trying to be a substitute teacher for the fourth grade, and reads the poetry of Robert Burns. In order to make the kids quiet, he starts playing a bagpipe. Superintendent Chalmers enters the room and tells Willie to stop playing the instrument and leave the room because there is a new teacher, retired Air Force Sergeant Mrs. Berrera. Bart starts acting weird when she first enters the room and later realizes that he has a crush on his new teacher. Meanwhile, Homer has to buy a healthy milk for the family, but Apu makes him buy a cheaper milk full of hormones made by Buzz Cola. The next morning, the family discovers that Bart was the first to wake up and was already dressed for class. Lisa mocks Bart that he's only doing that for his new teacher, which is true. Homer drives Bart to school only to see her, and they're surprised by other dads, also eavesdropping on her class. Later, Bart writes "Skinner is a wiener" on the school's wall, but is surprised by Mrs. Berrera saying that she needs to see him after class. At their meeting, she tells Bart that he's way behind the class and needs a tutor. When Seymour Skinner offers help on her class by pulling up her maps, Bart discovers that Skinner is also trying to impress Mrs. Berrera, and Skinner realizes that Bart is also trying to impress her. The next morning, the milk hormones started making effect on Bart (who now has a little mustache), Lisa (who now has an acne problem), and Maggie (who now has a unibrow). Marge decides to help Lisa while Homer teaches Bart to shave his beard where he discovers that he has to take the plastic cover off the blade for it to work properly. Meanwhile, Lisa tries to hide her face with a hoodie, but Marge changes her mind by presenting her to makeup in order to hide her skin problems. At school, Bart pretends he's hurt to draw Mrs. Berrera's attention and take her away from Seymour to help him with first-aid. At the watching crowd, Nelson discovers that Lisa is using makeup, which makes her popular enough to be invited to a third grade party. The next day, at breakfast, Marge discovers that the Buzz Milk is the one causing problems to the kids. They call the number on the box, but Snake picks up the phone in prison. Later at school, Bart sees Mrs. Berrera and Seymour kissing in the corridor. He also calls Bart for a meeting, saying that he knows way more things about Mrs. Berrera than Bart does, and that he doesn't have a chance to win her. Angry by Skinner's move, Bart decides to prank them by filling a chocolate box given to Mrs. Berrera by Skinner with class pets such as snakes and frogs. Later at the third grade party, Lisa realizes that it's about to rain and everyone would see her acne problem if the makeup washes away, resulting on humiliation, but she decides to reveal her problem herself by taking off the makeup in front of everybody, but her skin is clean. She notices that the hormone effects are gone, so she decides to leave the party embarrassed for making an underwhelming announcement. Lisa convinces Bart to give up on Mrs. Berrera and let Seymour have her as a girlfriend. When he presents her to his mother Agnes, she gets so disgusted about his mother that she decides to end her relationship with him. At night, Seymour, Bart and Milhouse decided to roast marshmallows at the school, using Bart's permanent record as fuel to the fire, while Lisa plays saxophone inside the music classroom. At the next morning's breakfast, Lisa's playing saxophone at the kitchen, claiming that she'll never use makeup again, but Bart mocks her by saying "Carnegie Hall" out loud (which according to her, it would make her dream of playing there not come true). They start fighting on the floor, but they're separated by Maggie who now has a huge mono-brow and super-strength due to the milk hormones.

Homer is trying to help Maggie sleep. After a few failed attempts, she hints him that she wants to hear a bedtime story. He starts by telling the story of the Grand Canyon vacation with the Flanders. The story takes place two years earlier, with people from the church volunteering to clean skid row on a Saturday. At the end of the cleanup, Ned wins a family trip to the Grand Canyon for being the most selfless cleaner. After reading the pamphlet, Ned realizes that it is a two family trip. They invite the Lovejoy family, but they convince Ned to take the Simpsons with them. At the Grand Canyon, everyone is astonished by the view, but the two families are not getting along very well. Marge is angry at Maude because she thinks that Marge is not a good parent because of Bart and Homer's shenanigans, and the Flanders are annoyed for the same reason. During a donkey trail, they are passed by a group of millionaires that use the canyon at their own wish. Later, the tour guide's donkey falls off the cliff with most of the supplies, leaving both families stranded in the canyon. Homer manages to make Maggie fall asleep with the story, but Lisa wants to know what happened next. Homer continues telling the story, waking up Maggie who wants to hear it. At the Grand Canyon, Ned and Homer decide to look for supplies when they find the millionaires' camping site. Homer convinces Ned to steal their food and supplies and escape down the river using a raft. They manage to reach their campsite and surprise everyone with a breakfast, with caviar and bacon (which Lisa happily eats; Homer and Lisa then explain to Maggie that the story took place before she became a vegetarian). Later, they are rescued and Homer and Ned talk about their friendship. When Homer finishes the story, it's revealed that Ned is also listening through the window. Homer reminds him that they still owe them a trip. In the final scene, postcards from touristic places around the world go past the screen. It is revealed that it's actually the Simpsons family and Flanders family's trip to a postcard museum. When Flanders asks Homer if the place sells postcards at the gift shop, a museum worker states that they don't.

Homer is going to make an annual speech at the Nuclear Plant. His original plan is to repeat the comedy speech he did every year, but most of his punchlines were already used or they would be offensive, including jokes about Lenny's grandmother who is sick. This makes him so nervous that he passes out on the stage, leading to a trauma of public speaking. Trying to cheer Homer up, Marge takes him to a standup comedy show. At the show, Homer is amazed by the actors' talent to improvise. He, Lenny, and Carl then choose to join an improvisation class, where Homer learns that he has a talent for improvising scenes. They decide to form their own stand-up comedy troupe at Moe's Tavern, where Homer's act is acclaimed by the public and the critics. In a secondary plot, Bart and Lisa go to Ralph's birthday party, where Bart realizes that Ralph's new treehouse (built with money that Chief Wiggum took from the evidence locker) is much better than his old current treehouse. Feeling envious, Bart destroys his treehouse. However, when he says that mothers can't build a treehouse, Marge plans to work hard and build him the best treehouse she can. Later, at the new treehouse, Marge overhears Bart saying to Milhouse that there isn't any need to thank her, because she is only doing her job. Marge gets irritated at him, and storms off during dinner when Bart offends her, where Homer learns that he is invited to perform at the Springfield Fringe Festival. When Marge complains to him about Bart and learns about the fringe festival, she accidentally makes Homer insecure about his own act. The next morning, Bart takes Marge's breakfast into her bedroom and apologizes (with Homer's help), and they reconcile. Later at the festival, Moe advises a still insecure Homer that he should cheat on his improvisation act, letting Moe pick his premises. However, Lisa finds out about their plans and convinces Homer to make his show the proper way. He does so, and his on-the-spot act is well-received by the audience. In a segment advertised as "Homer Live", Homer puts his improvisation skills to use by taking questions from viewers during the credits. This segment was performed live twice by Dan Castellaneta, for both east and west coast broadcasts. In the international version, Homer gives a three minute monologue chronicling his intentions to run for presidency, only to talk himself out of it by the end of his speech. Different characters (including Bender from Futurama picketing for another revival of his show) pass by him throughout the segment.

Smithers almost declares his love for Mr. Burns after he saves Burns' life in a skydiving accident, but Burns reaffirms his indifference and ingratitude for him. Angry and heartbroken, Smithers treats Homer, Lenny and Carl harshly, so they determine finding Smithers a boyfriend will ease the ill-treatment. They invite potential partners to meet Smithers at a gay men's singles' party, where a neck massage from Julio snaps Smithers out of his bad mood. The two fall for each other, Smithers gives Homer time off with pay for this and Smithers leaves his job at the power plant. Smithers becomes troubled on a trip to Julio's homeland of Cuba when Julio's carnival outfit resembles Burns; Julio notices and asks Smithers if he is committed to their relationship, and Smithers admits that he is not. Back in Springfield, Burns' attempts to find a new assistant prove disastrous, and his only option is to rehire Smithers. He meets Smithers with money and other enticements to lure him back, but Smithers states that he is not swayed. Burns then says he has kept a secret bottled up: that Smithers' performance review is "excellent". They hug and reconcile. Meanwhile, Springfield Elementary put on a production of Casablanca, in which Lisa gets the lead role of Ilsa. Milhouse wants the male lead role of Rick because of his love for Lisa, but he is challenged by a new boy, Jack Deforest, who dresses, acts and speaks like Humphrey Bogart. Milhouse enlists the bullies to beat up Jack, but Jack wins the fight. Principal Skinner sees this violence and declares that Milhouse will play Rick instead of Jack; Lisa is angered as Milhouse is a horrible actor. Marge tells Lisa that it is important to encourage people who are not skilled by telling them that they are, using the example of Homer. Milhouse does give a great performance and the production is a success, but in the end, it is revealed that Jack was disguised as Milhouse; he and Lisa leave hand-in- hand. In an epilogue Milhouse goes to Moe's Tavern, where Smithers teaches him that romantic setbacks make love feel better when it arrives. Moe tells the pair that he only searches for gold, not girls, and embarks on a treasure hunt with Jack and Groundskeeper Willie.

Later that day, she tries to play for her parents again, but she goes to her bedroom to fix one of her reeds. That's when Marge confesses to Homer that she hates jazz, even when Lisa plays it. Unfortunately, Lisa hears her confession and confronts her mother, avoiding her hugs and calling her "Marjorie". Marge decides to take Lisa on a trip to Capital City to cheer her up, like taking her on the Capital City Dream Tour. However, Marge's attempts to bond with Lisa annoy her even more, to the point where she stops wearing her pearl necklace. In a final attempt to calm Lisa down, Marge takes her to Bad News Bears - The Musical. At the show, Lisa realizes that her mom has very different tastes than she does, and she decides to just pretend to like the musical, just like Marge did with her solo. At the exit, Marge meets the show's star, Andrew Rannells, and invites him to join them for dinner. Meanwhile, back in Springfield, Homer gives Bart the responsibility over Maggie while the girls are out. Bart soon realizes that playing with Maggie is fun, and she could be his sidekick for pranks.

Marge and Lisa are pleased with their trip. Before the end credits, Lisa gathers her classmates in the treehouse for an impromptu jazz session whilst Homer is shown putting different recycling bins full of beer bottles and Grampa out at the curb.

When Canfield finds out that Bernice Pierce (Wini Shaw) is about to bring a breach of promise suit against him, he pretends to enlist to dodge the suit, but ends up actually in the Army by mistake. Sent to France, Buck private Canfield finds that his valet, Hobson (Eric Blore) is now his sergeant. Canfield becomes friendly with Yvonne (Joan Blondell), a pretty French barmaid from the nearby cafe, after he protects her from the unwanted advances of an American officer (Craig Reynolds), but Yvonne becomes jealous when Mary appears, pleased to see that Canfield is in the Army at last. Canfield denies to Yvonne that Mary is his girl, and takes her to a YMCA show, in which he performs. Bernice suddenly arrives from Paris to perform, and gives Canfield a passionate kiss, saying she's been looking all over France for him. Yvonne is jealous once again and storms out. Canfield takes a room in Yvonne's house, unaware that her stepfather is a German spy. After he releases the spy's carrier pigeons, because they're keeping him awake, he is arrested and charged with espionage. He escapes from prison by disguising himself as an officer, but then is ordered to the front - as the officer - to capture a German machine gun emplacement. An artillery shell knocks him out and blows away his uniform, so he puts on a German pickelhaube helmet and is mistaken by the machine gunners as a German officer. He climbs into a German trench and puts on a German officer's greatcoat, ordering a retreat. He approaches the machine gun nest from the rear, and grabs their gun, using it to march them back to Allied lines. On a break, Canfield finds that the Germans are tired of fighting, so they escort him back to the German lines, where all the men in the German regiment want to follow him and give themselves up to the Allies. The Allies naturally think that they're witnessing a German attack, until the Germans hold up white flags. Canfield himself, still wearing the German helmet and officer's coat, is arrested as a spy and a traitor. Mary and Bernice turn their backs on him, but Yvonne believes that he is innocent. Canfield is thrown into the guard house, where he is held until he can be shot, but when he is taken out, it is not for an execution, but to be rewarded by the French Army with the Legion of Honour and the Croix de Guerre for single-handedly capturing "hundreds and hundreds" of Germans. His final reward is a kiss from Yvonne.

In Affordable Space Adventures, the player takes on the role of a customer who has purchased an "Affordable Space Adventure" from the company UExplore. The game begins with a video that describes a newly discovered planet ready to be explored by the company's customers, even promising to allow them to take ownership of and colonize their own individual piece of the planet. It introduces the customer to the Small Craft, their own personal vehicle with which they will explore the planet's surface, and describes the process by which the customer is to be placed on and retrieved from the planet. All along the way, UExplore extols the virtues of its perfect safety record - more specifically that they have had no "recorded" accidents in two decades. An unexplained incident occurs between the end of the video and the start of the game, where the player awakens to discover that the mother ship has crashed in a hostile extraterrestrial environment, leaving the player no choice but to explore his/her environment. Along the way, the Small Craft slowly repairs its systems, bringing new functionality online at key points. The player is also informed of alien "artifacts" that he/she must avoid disturbing at all costs, under penalty of fines. The player searches for a functional distress beacon that will allow him/her to request emergency extraction. However, the beacons that the player finds are damaged or otherwise non-functional, forcing further exploration. As the game proceeds, more promotional videos emerge from UExplore talking about how safe their program is - so much so, in fact, that the company's safety director was given an extended vacation. The player eventually comes upon an alien installation that has the ability to alter reality in short bursts. The Small Craft penetrates this installation's defenses and causes a massive explosion, resulting in the ship being sent back to the surface, heavily damaged. The player sets off again in search of another beacon. The Small Craft begins to fall apart, system after system failing and shutting down until only the most basic systems are left online. The player finally discovers a working beacon in the middle of a harsh blizzard that, despite generating maximum heat, threatens to freeze the Small Craft solid. After filling out a casual survey form, the beacon puts the player in stasis to await extraction. In a short scene after the credits, the player's survey form (including their Miiverse drawing if provided) emerges from an interstellar fax machine in the long-unoccupied office of UExplore's safety director, ending up on the floor with numerous other calls for help.

In 1926, British wizard and "magizoologist" Newton "Newt" Scamander arrives in New York City. He encounters Mary Lou Barebone, the non-magical ("No-Maj" or "Muggle") head of the New Salem Philanthropic Society, who preaches that witches and wizards are real and dangerous. Attempting to recapture a Niffler that escapes from his suitcase of magical creatures, Newt meets No-Maj Jacob Kowalski, an aspiring baker, and they unwittingly swap suitcases. Porpentina "Tina" Goldstein, a demoted Auror of the Magical Congress of the United States (MACUSA), arrests Newt for breaking magical law. Since the suitcase in his possession only contains Jacob’s baked goods, Newt is released, much to Tina’s embarrassment. At home, Jacob opens Newt’s suitcase, inadvertently freeing several creatures into the city. After Tina and Newt find Jacob and the suitcase, Tina takes them to her apartment and introduces them to Queenie, her Legilimens sister. Jacob and Queenie are mutually attracted, though American wizards are forbidden to have any contact with No-Majs. Newt takes Jacob inside his suitcase, magically expanded to house various creatures including an Obscurus, a parasite that develops inside magically gifted children when their abilities are suppressed; Newt extracted it from a young girl who died, as those afflicted rarely live past the age of ten. After they recapture two of the three escaped beasts, Tina returns the suitcase to MACUSA, but they are arrested, as officials believe one of Newt's creatures is responsible for killing Senator Henry Shaw Jr., who was actually attacked by an Obscurus. The Director of Magical Security, Percival Graves, accuses Newt of conspiring with the infamous dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald, and decides to destroy Newt's suitcase and obliviate Jacob's recent memories. Newt and Tina are sentenced to death, but escape aided by Queenie and Jacob, who retrieve Newt's suitcase. A tip from Tina's goblin informant Gnarlack leads the four to recapture the last of the escaped creatures. Graves approaches Credence, Mary Lou's adopted son, and offers to free him from his abusive mother in exchange for finding the Obscurus causing destruction throughout the city. Credence finds a wand under his adopted sister Modesty's bed, which Mary Lou assumes is his; when Credence is about to be punished, his Obscurus kills Mary Lou and her eldest daughter Chastity. Graves, assuming Modesty is the Obscurus' host, dismisses Credence as a Squib and refuses to teach him magic as he had promised. Credence reveals he is the real host, having survived due to the intensity of his magic, and attacks the city in broad daylight. Newt finds Credence hiding in a subway tunnel, but is attacked by Graves. Tina, who lost her job trying to protect Credence from Mary Lou, attempts to calm him, while Graves tries to convince Credence to listen to him. As Credence returns to human form, MACUSA President Seraphina Picquery and the Aurors counterattack, disintegrating the Obscurus. Graves admits his plan to unleash the Obscurus and frame Newt, exposing the magical community to the No-Majs; he declares that MACUSA protects the No-Majs more than themselves. Picquery orders the Aurors to apprehend Graves, but he defeats them all, until Newt captures him with the help of one of his beasts, and reveals Graves is Grindelwald in disguise. MACUSA fears their secret world has been exposed, but Newt releases his Thunderbird to disperse a potion as rainfall over the city, obliviating all New Yorkers' recent memories while MACUSA wizards repair the destruction. Queenie kisses Jacob goodbye as the rain erases his memories, and Newt returns to England. Jacob opens a bakery with pastries resembling Newt’s beasts, and when Queenie enters, he smiles at her, indicating that his memories may return.

Few days after the shooting, Anas Valdivia [Laisha Wilkins], a strange, depressed and lonely young woman checked into the hotel, and drowned herself. Always-clever Lucina takes the opportunity to pass on Anas' identification, thus making Oriana impersonate Anas. This is to clear Oriana of her involvement in the murder of Don Gabriel. Though this was against Oriana's will, but she accepted because she has no choice but to 'Lie to Live'. Living as Anas, Oriana worked in a cloth store, starting her life all over. She also changed Alina's name to Catalina and explained why she changed their names - so that they won't be separated. Few weeks after, Mrs. Paloma Aresti [Adriana Roel], Ricardo's godmother and a wealthy woman who is in search of her only grandchild and heir, hired a private investigator, who went by the hotel to search for Anas Valdivia. an investigator sent by who is looking for her only grandchild and heir, whom she does not know: Inés Valdivia. Again timely, Lucina, knowing what she had done with Anas' identity, led the investigator to Oriana, painting her to be the 'likely' granddaughter of the wealthy old woman. She also told the investigator that she saw a little girl with the supposed Anas. Lucina then gives the investigator Oriana' picture, telling him it's Anas. Lucina also gives a brush with a lock of Anas' hair and advised a DNA test. Eventually, Anas (Oriana) is located by Paloma, who takes her to live with her. There, Oriana meets Ricardo. Oriana then becomes a partner in Paloma's spinning and weaving factory. Gabriel's son, Ricardo [David Zepeda] is a successful engineer who has a and rebellious teenager Sebastian (Alejandro Speitzer). The attraction between Oriana and Ricardo is immediate without imagining that there are among them many obstacles and adversities secrets to be overcome. Circumstances further complicate when José Luis who in reality is not dead comes back to Mexico determined to get his family and fight in a game of lies and truths, in which love will triumph in the end.

Based on the Thompson Twins' 1984 "Doctor! Doctor!" single, the plot of The Thompson Twins Adventure revolves around the efforts of the three Thompson Twins members (Tom Bailey, Alannah Currie, and Joe Leeway) to gather ingredients for the concoction of the titular doctor's potion. The game opens with the Thompson Twins at a beach location. From there they must travel through several areas including a forest and a cavern to search for ingredients for the doctor's potion. When they have collected all ingredients and located the doctor, the doctor creates his potion and the game ends. The nature of the doctor's potion was the secret answer to a competition launched concurrently with the game's release by Computer and Video Games. The contest ran for one month (ending on 16 November 1984) during which time contestants were intended to gather and examine clues by listening to the "Doctor! Doctor!" single (a selection of which was included on the flexi disc), listening to the game's special introduction message recorded on the same disc by the Thompson Twins, and playing through the game. When the identity of the potion was discovered, contestants were supposed to send in their answers to Computer and Video Games. The first correct answer would win the grand prize: free tickets to an upcoming Thompson Twins concert with the opportunity to meet the musicians backstage afterward. Prizes would also be awarded to ten runner-ups. Due to difficulties in the creation of the Commodore 64 version of the game, the contest deadline was extended by an extra month (i.e., to December 1984) for Commodore 64 users. The winner of the Spectrum competition was announced as Alison Wagstaf in the magazine's January 1985 issue (Issue 39). The winner of the Commodore 64 version of the contest would get tickets to and backstage access at a later concert.

Claire Waverley lives alone in small Bascom, North Carolina. The only person she's close to is an elderly relative named Evanelle, who has the gift of giving people exactly what they need before they need it. Claire runs a successful catering business based around edible flowers, and refuses to let anyone into her life. Her neighbor, Tyler Hughes, is interested in her but she acts cold towards him. Claire has an apple tree in her garden with a special power; anyone who eats an apple from it sees what the biggest event in their life will be. Half the town wants to get to the tree and eat an apple, but Claire buries every apple as it falls to prevent people from seeing bad things. Across the country in Seattle, Washington, Claire's sister Sydney and her five-year-old daughter Bay escape from David, Sydney's abusive boyfriend and Bay's father, and head to Bascom. They arrive out of the blue and shock Claire, who hasn't seen Sydney in ten years and has no idea she has a daughter. Claire hires Sydney to help out with the catering, and as luck would have it Sydney's first assignment is serving at a party being thrown by her old boyfriend Hunter John Matteson and his wife Emma. It turns out that Emma's mother Ariel Clark set the situation up to try to show Hunter John that Sydney was trash, and Claire was unaware of her motives. Sydney calls Tyler to come get her, and Claire changes the food so the people attending the party feel remorse for how they treated Sydney. Many of them call Sydney and apologize for their bad behavior. Sydney had attended beauty school at one point, and she rents a booth at the local hair salon, but has no customers until Claire has Sydney cut her hair off into a very flattering style. Sydney runs into her old friend Henry, who she had shunned in high school after playing with him every day in grade school. He invites her and Bay out to see his dairy farm, and they stay for several hours. When they get home, Claire is in a panic because she thinks she's been abandoned. On the Fourth of July, Claire sets up a booth on the green and gives away honeysuckle wine. Tyler catches her alone, and they kiss before Claire breaks free and drives home in a panic. Later Claire takes Tyler several casseroles which are intended to make him uninterested in her, but they don't work on him. Instead, he gets more attracted to her, even though an old girlfriend comes to stay with him for several days. Despite herself, Claire finds herself drawn to Tyler, and they make love in her garden. Sydney and Henry go on a date to the town reservoir, and take Claire and Bay along. At the last minute, they invite Tyler along as well. They all have an enjoyable time, but the town gossips, namely Ariel Clark and her friends, tell everyone about it and say Claire is acting like a teenager, even though she's thirty-six. Claire and Sydney decide to throw a party and invite Evanelle, Henry and Tyler. Evanelle arrives early and reveals to Claire and Sydney that their mother ate an apple from their tree many years earlier, and most likely saw the car accident in which she was to die. Evanelle believes that this explains their mother's wild behavior. Henry and Tyler arrive, and they are settling down to eat dinner when Bay's father David arrives, carrying a gun. He shoots Henry in the hand and goes after Sydney. Bay runs behind the apple tree and an apple flies out at David's feet. He bites into it and evidently sees something horrible, probably his own death. He runs off, to the relief of everyone but Tyler, who doesn't know about the legendary power of the apple tree. When Claire explains to Tyler what must have happened, he tells her that he ate an apple and didn't run off screaming into the night. All he saw was Claire in her garden. The book ends with Bay lying beneath the apple tree, recreating a dream she had about being in the garden.

Six men — The Doctor, Yorgos, Josef, Dimitris, Yannis and Christos — are enjoying a fishing trip on the Aegean Sea in a luxury yacht. All the men are related either professionally or personally: The Doctor works with and mentors Christos, the former boyfriend of his daughter Anna; Yannis is the Doctor's son-in-law; Dimitris is Yannis' brother; and Josef and Yorgos are partners who are close friends with the Doctor. The final night before they head out on a multi-day journey back to Athens they play a game in which one player thinks of a person on the boat and the others must ask metaphorical questions such as what type of animal or fruit the person would be in order to guess the person the player is thinking of. Josef is offended when Yorgos guesses he is the person in question that resembles a pineapple. Josef correctly guesses that the person who is a pineapple is the cabin boy. In a huff, Yorgos quits playing saying that Josef isn't the best, he is only the person who is best at that particular game. Trying to decide on an alternate game to play Christos suggests they play a game he played the previous year called Chevalier. In Chevalier the men set up tasks for them all to perform and whoever wins the most rounds wins a Chevalier signet ring. Yorgos agrees to play, but only if the men compete for who is the best in general, meaning that they will not only judge each other on tasks but on their personality and habits with anything and everything up for grabs. The only one with a Chevalier ring is the Doctor, but as he refuses to lend his ring to the winner, they decide that a ring will be purchased when the group arrives in Athens. The men immediately begin to judge each other on how they sleep, what they wear, how they drink their coffee. Each contestant also selects a competition for all of the men to compete in including who can clean the fastest, and who can skip stones the best. For his competition Yannis chooses to have the men take pictures of their penis fully erect to judge who has the largest one. Only Joseph is unable to achieve an erection, becoming upset. Once docked at Athens the men decide to stay on board for several more days to fully complete their competition. The doctor draws blood for each of the men but Dimitris refuses to have his blood taken which loses him points in the competition. Christos is upset to discover he has cholesterol. During dinner Dimitris prepares a performance of Lovin' You which he lipsynchs to. Wanting to encourage his brother Yannis lights sparklers and dances behind him on the dock. After the performance the Doctor coldly rebukes Yannis for being careless with the sparklers. Becoming enraged Yannis lashes out at the Doctor accusing him of disliking him because his daughter Anna is infertile. He then mocks Christos telling him that Anna shared his sexual inadequacies with Yannis and together they make fun of him. Christos is distraught and attacks Yannis and the two men must be separated. Before the final competition Yorgos prepares a speech where he tells the men that he is shared a special moment with all of them during the trip. He then cuts his hand and asks the men to become blood brothers with him. All the men refuse, except Dimitris who agrees to the blood pact. Rather than slitting his hand, he pulls down his pants and cuts his upper butt cheek before grabbing Yorgos hand and clasping it to him to make them blood brothers. In the kitchen the cook and his assistant begin to play Chevalier against one another, with the assistant docking points from his employer because he is balding. Outside the men, having finally finished the game, debark from the boat and head to their cars to go home. Yorgos climbs on his motorbike, with the chevalier ring gleaming on his hand.

Meena (Armeena Khan), a Pashtun student living in Vancouver, Canada, travels to Swat, Pakistan for her cousin Palwasha's (Hania Amir) wedding. Her Canadian friends are worried that she may be married, too. She is met at the airport by the bride's adopted brother, Asafandyar (Bilal Ashraf), and taken back to the house, where festivities are taking a swing. Upon arrival, Palwasha explains to Meena about her meeting and subsequent engagement with her fiancé Samir, a Punjabi. Daniyal (Ali Rehman Khan), Palwasha's cousin, attempts to impress Meena with some ill-advised stunts (including swallowing a lit cigarette), to Meena's disapproval and derision. The groom's family also arrive for the wedding. Meena breaks a tooth and while having the tooth fixed becomes intoxicated by the painkillers from the dentist- this leads to a chain of events which leads to Samir becoming uncomfortable, mistakenly thinking that Daniyal is attracted to him. Meanwhile, Meena develops a feeling for Asfandyar after seeing his kind nature, at the school where he works- a school funded by wealthy beneficiary Ikramullah. On the night of Palwasha's mehndi ceremony, Chotu (the driver) reveals to Asfandyar that he was abused by Ikramullah in his childhood and that Ikramullah is a child predator who has been abusing vulnerable children at the school. Upon Ikramullah's arrival at the ceremony, Asfandyar approaches him in anger and punches and slaps him, much to his family's chagrin. This leads to Daniyal's mother denouncing Asfandyar, claiming that his temperament is solely due to his being adopted. Asfandyar is greatly upset by this but is consoled by Daniyal, who tells him he thinks of him as his real older brother. Before learning about Ikramullah's true nature, Meena slaps Asfandyar out of anger and afterward regrets this action. Due to his family's disapproval of his earlier actions, Asfandyar refrains from telling the family of Ikramullah's child abuse and remains detached at the Nikkah ceremony. His father learns of what happened to Chotu and the younger students and decides to pursue a court case against Ikramullah with the help of the students' parents. Ikramullah threatens violence against the family if the charges are not dropped. Meanwhile, Samir and Asfandyar help Daniyal plan a proposal for Meena, a proposal that she rejects. Later that evening, the car that Palwasha and Meena are driving is stopped by Ikramullah's men. Asfandyar and Daniyal are also driving along this road and are injured in a struggle with Ikramullah's men. On the day of the wedding, Meena receives a full-time job offer from a Canadian middle school, starting from a month after the wedding. After a talk with Daniyal, Asfandyar realizes his feelings for Meena and goes to her room to talk to her where he finds the job offer and leaves, assuming she will leave after accepting the offer. After the wedding, Ikramullah's men arrive and shoot Chotu, killing him. Asfandyar follows them and finds that they have set the school on fire, in retaliation for Ikramullah's arrest earlier that night. Daniyal and Meena arrive as Asfandyar runs into the flames. A month later, Meena is seen teaching the children from the burnt school, which is seen being reconstructed. She and Daniyal then travel to a graveyard, where Asfandyar is visiting Chotu's grave, still blaming himself for his death. Asfandyar assumes Meena is planning to return to Canada, having accepted the job offer, but she tells him she wants to stay and help rebuild the school. She then proceeds to propose to Asfandyar. The three then begin to head home.

The story revolves around a madrassa (school) where adults are provided an education in a satirical and humorous environment. It is based on Mohammad Ali Jinnah's or Quaid-e-Azam's three principles of 'unity, faith and discipline', that became an inspiring and effective slogan for the Muslim masses during the Pakistan Movement days around 1947. This national slogan has actually become a permanent foundation stone of the 'Ideology of Pakistan' and is frequently quoted, even in 2020, by the Pakistanis as a nation. It is also quoted on TV in this drama serial in comical situations. This satire was originally written for Radio Pakistan in the 1950s before the introduction of TV broadcasts in Pakistan in November 1964. It was then adapted for PTV and first broadcast in 1966.

The story focuses on the one-handed man, and is a character study of this self-conscious, somewhat anxious and melancholic figure. After living abroad and working as a portrait artist, he has moved home to his mother's following the death of his father seven months before the story takes place. The one-handed man was close to his father and feels the bereavement keenly, and has been unable to paint since. The novel has two main plot threads: * Over time and through his experiences and reflections, the one-handed man comes to terms with his father's death. He begins the novel carefully preserving his father's effects, but these are gradually taken over by the fungus. He meets the woman from over the road, who remembers his father fondly but is outgoing and inclined to live in the moment. Eventually the one-handed man begins a relationship with her. Forced from his family home by the fungus to staying in a tent on Öskjuhlíð, he begins to paint portraits of his father, eventually completing a series of twelve depicting him at different stages of life. The novel ends following the opening of an exhibition of these memorials with the one-handed man accepting the cyclical nature of human life. * The novel opens with the one-handed man and his elder brother renovating their mother's basement. In doing so, they discover a large fungus; attempts to remove it simply make it stronger. The one-handed man starts to notice the fungus elsewhere in the town (including in the basement of the woman from over the road) and takes samples to a biologist, who identifies it as Coccidiodes kaputis and says that this is known for rare, unexplained outbreaks followed by unexpected remissions (prominently in 1872 and 1928). The spread of the fungus causes panic, but this is stilled by the mayor and his sidekick, a biochemist, who insist that the fungus is not dangerous and is caused by an underground oil leak: disinformation and the struggle for truth to prevail against consensus is a key theme of the novel. Some people begin to eat the fungus, finding that it makes them feel better, while a few others give up the town and start camping on Öskjuhlíð to escape the fungus; the mayor promotes the export of the fungus as a business opportunity. While looking after his nephew, the one-handed man witnesses the fungus causing his nephew a violent asthma attack and takes him to hospital; it later emerges that the staff, who are consuming the fungus, feed it to the one-handed man's nephew and older brother, convincing them that all is well. The one-handed man, however, moves to the tent-city, where he meets the woman from over the road, and later rescues his increasingly sick mother by bringing her there too. The one-handed man and his neighbour both help the biologist with his efforts to research and kill the fungus, which, however, all fail, providing the narrative with three moments of increasingly dramatic disappointed hope, and opportunities for the one-handed man's personal development. Eventually, as the fungus causes widespread morbidity and mortality, and the collapse of large numbers of buildings, people become convinced of its dangers. The one-handed man concludes that the fungus cannot be defeated by human intervention—rather that its growth is exacerbated by attempts to destroy or harvest it—and must be allowed to complete its natural cycle of growth and decay; he convinces his fellow citizens of this; and the novel concludes with evidence that this strategy is working.

The story focuses on a young adult named Atsushi Nakajima. After being kicked out of his orphanage, Atsushi accidentally stops the suicide of a detective named Osamu Dazai believing he was drowning in the river. During his interactions with Dazai, Atsushi learns he is gifted with a supernatural ability capable of transforming him into a berserker white tiger in the moonlight; this made the orphanage torture him and kick him out in the past. Dazai recruits him into the Agency and there he meets many other ability users as they tackle various cases and events taking place within the city of Yokohama, a place teeming with individuals with Supernatural Abilities. Atsushi becomes the target of the Port Mafia members, most notably Dazai's former student, Ryūnosuke Akutagawa, as there is a bounty on his head on the black market. During Atsushi's fights against the mafia, he also meets Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald, the leader of the Fellowship of the Guild who placed the bounty on his head. Fitzgerald reveals there is a supernatural book capable of changing reality linked with Atsushi's tiger, hence putting a bounty on the black market. Fitzgerald disregards any superficial damage the Guild might bring to Yokohama in exchange for the book, having an airship named "Moby Dick" destroy the city. However, he is nearly killed by Atsushi and Akutagawa once joining forces while former mafia member Kyoka Izumi stops Moby Dick. Another man known as Fyodor Dostoyevsky appears wishing to obtain the book too in order to erase all gifted people. He arranges a mortal fight between the detectives and the mafia but the true leader behind this organization, Natsume Soseki, stops the fight. While Atsushi and Akutagawa corner the virus' originator, Dazai manages to arrest Dostoyevsky with Fitzgerald's help. However, Dostoyevsky is later revealed to have orchestrated his own imprisonment in order to lead his followers. Pages of the book are later found by Dostoyevsky's group The Decay of Angels who uses its powers to frame the Agency for a murder case. Dazai is imprisoned alongside Dostoyevsky and the government sends its military forces known as the Hunting Dogs to execute the members from the Agency. As the Agency faces defeat, they form an alliance with Fitzgerald and the mafia in exchange for one of their followers. Across the multiple fights, it is revealed there is another person above Dostoyevsky and that person must be stopped.

A generation ship is launched from Saturn in 2545 at 10% c (i.e. traveling at 108,000,000 km/hr or 10% the speed of light). It includes twenty-four self-contained biomes and an average population of two thousand people. One hundred sixty years and approximately seven generations later, it is beginning its deceleration into the Tau Ceti system to begin colonization of a planet's moon, an Earth analog, which has been named Aurora. Devi, the ship's de facto chief engineer and leader, is concerned about the decaying infrastructure and biology of the ship: systems are breaking down, each generation has lower intelligence test scores than the last, and bacteria are mutating and evolving at a faster rate than humans. She tells the ship's AI, referred to simply as Ship, to keep a narrative of the voyage. After having some trouble with understanding the human concept of narrative, Ship eventually elects to follow the life of Devi's daughter Freya as a protagonist. As a teenager, Freya travels around the ship on her wanderjahr and learns that many of the ship's inhabitants are dissatisfied with their enclosed existence and what they perceive as a dictatorship. Movement is strictly limited for most people, reproduction is tightly controlled, and education in science and mathematics is mandatory. Freya's wanderjahr comes to an end when she is called home as Devi grows sick from cancer and dies. The ship arrives in the Tau Ceti system and begins to settle Aurora, a moon of Tau Ceti e. It soon becomes apparent that extraterrestrial life is present in the form of primitive prions, which infect and kill most of the landing party. All except one of the remaining settlers attempt to return to the ship, and some of those remaining onboard kill them in the airlock to maintain quarantine, leading to a violent political schism throughout the ship. The ship itself, which has been moving towards self- awareness, takes physical control of the situation by lowering oxygen levels and separating warring factions, referring to itself as "the rule of law". It then reveals to the crew that there were in fact two ships originally launched for the Tau Ceti expedition, but the other was destroyed during a period of severe civil unrest, and the collective memory of that event was erased from the history records. Under Ship's moderation, a more peaceful debate takes place between the inhabitants about what to do now that Aurora is known to be inhospitable. Unable to reach consensus, the factions agree to part ways, with those who wish to stay retaining as many resources as can be spared to pursue an unlikely attempt at terraforming the Mars-like planet Iris, while the other group, led by Freya, opt to try and return to Earth. Using raw materials in the Tau Ceti system, they refuel the ship to allow acceleration back to Earth; since they lack fuel to decelerate, they must rely on the laser propulsion system that originally launched them from the Solar System to slow them down on approach. The last remaining Aurora settler, who remains permanently quarantined in his shuttle attached to the exterior of the ship, elects to return to Earth as well. Initially, Freya and the others who return remain in communication from those who remained in the Tau Ceti system, but much later on their voyage home this communication stops. On the voyage back to Earth, the ship's biomes continue to deteriorate as bacteria flourish and crops fail. The humans soon face famine and experiment with an untested form of cryogenic freezing, which is largely successful. The ship's repeated entreaties to Earth to turn back on the laser propulsion system are ignored due to societal and political strife back in the Solar System, and many citizens' anger at the colonists' "cowardice". Eventually a private group funds and reactivates the laser, but the delay means the ship's speed is only reduced by a fraction of what is needed. Ship is therefore forced to decelerate by means of gravity assist between various planets, a process which takes twelve years. During this time, with the full communications data of humanity available to it, it learns more about why it was launched in the first place—simply for expansionism—and denounces its builders as "criminally negligent narcissists". Ship manages to safely drop its humans off on a pass of Earth but fails to make a final gravity slowdown past the Sun. Ship is destroyed along with the last survivor of the landing on Aurora. Freya and the other "starfarers" have trouble adjusting to life on Earth, especially with many Terrans hostile to them for a perceived sense of ingratitude and cowardice. At a space colonization conference, a speaker says humanity will continue to send ships into interstellar space no matter how many fail and die, and Freya assaults him. Eventually she joins a group of terraformers who are attempting to restore the Earth's beaches after their loss during previous centuries' sea level rise. While swimming and surfing, she begins to come to terms with life on Earth.

Set in the times of the Biblical Flood, Dave is a Nestrian, a clumsy, silly-looking, brightly coloured creature whose only skills are making comfortable nests and secreting a foul smelling cloud of blue gas whenever he gets scared for his life. Dave is constantly moving around searching for a place to stay, a real home, much to the dismay of Finny, his son, who only wants to make friends. After hearing a rumor of a colossal wave that is said to cover the whole world, Dave packs up again and takes Finny to a giant gathering of animals where their only salvation awaits: a huge ark, big enough to fit in all the animals of the world, and built by a very nice human named Noah. Unfortunately, Dave and Finny are turned away as they're not on the Lion's list. The Lion manages all animal affairs on the ark and is the captain. But it takes more than that to dissuade a Nestrian. With the use of some creative thinking, some Nestrian craftsmanship, and the involuntary help of the carnivorous Grymps, Hazel and her daughter Leah, they manage to sneak on the ark after all. Just when the day seemed to have been saved, Dave and Hazel realize that Finny and Leah have disappeared. Their curiosity having gotten the better of them, they were on the scaffolding as the tidal wave hit the boat and it sailed away. The parents panic as the ark sails off, leaving their children stranded on the last bit of land not yet engulfed by the water. Their desperate race against time begins. Leah, who is a born hunter and survivor is burdened with the clumsy and awkward Finny, but somehow they manage to escape from the rising water and a pair of greedy and gruesome griffins. Eventually they add two more odd creatures who were also rejected from the ark to their ranks. Finding his footing, surrounded by his new group of friends, Finny starts to emerge as the brave hero that he really is. Meanwhile, their parents must get over their differences to work together, fight their way through gorilla guards and the vain and ruthless Lion to take control of the ark and save their children. Having had many adventures, the "fearless four" (Leah, Finny, Obesey and his parasite companion, Stayput) manage to fight off the continuing attacks of two griffins who see Leah and Finny as their dinner. Eventually, the griffins and Obesey fall into the rising water along with Stayput. As the water reaches the top of the mountain where Lea and Finny are, the parents manage to take control of the ship and steer it to the mountaintop. Leah and Finny manage to climb on a piece of floating ice when the water engulfs the mountain. When the ark passes their little iceberg, it turns out to be hard to climb on. Finny first manages to climb on the ark but does not want to leave Leah behind and jumps back on the iceberg. Then Leah jumps on board of the ark and uses her sharp claws to hold on. Finny tries to get back on the ark too, but falls in the water, seemingly unconscious or dying. When Dave tries to save Finny from drowning in the water the plot twist is revealed: Nestrians are really water creatures, perfectly able to breathe and swim while submerged. This also explains why Dave was never feeling at home. As the griffins try to eat Leah, Obesey, eats them. (Obesey turns out to be a whale, not a slug). In the final scenes Dave and Finny swim alongside the ark, waving at Leah and Hazel. On the deck of the ark the Lion Captain and his flamingo assistant discuss whether they should have told Dave and Finny in the beginning they were sea creatures. In the credits is seen when the Ark stops at the Mount Ararat and when all the animals leave the Ark, and the life of Dave and Finny after the Flood and they discover other Nestrians in the sea.

The Ford Trimotor now has a full load of 12 passengers. At a stop in Albuquerque, passenger Katie Tristo (Nedda Harrigan), who generally talks about nothing but astrology, buys an Indian-made dagger from a souvenir stand. Between there and the next stop in Kansas City, most of the passengers are dozing when someone uses this dagger to kill another passenger, Ramon Duval (Gordon Elliott). When the crime is discovered, Phelan reveals his true identity and attempts to take charge, but instead a "female" passenger draws a gun, disarms and handcuffs Phelan, and hijacks the aircraft. He removes his disguise: he is "Killer" Madsen. After the radio transmitter is disabled, he throws the pilots' guns out the cockpit window, and orders them to fly to Evansville, Indiana. As they fly, Brewer interviews Madsen who claims he never murdered anyone with a knife. Someone else must have committed this new murder.

As they pass the time viewing 3-D photos with a stereoscope, Rita realizes that Katie looks younger when seen through its red lens. Phelan then recognizes her as Katie Dorne, a second fugitive, disguised by red makeup. Rita finds a way to arm herself and goes to confront Madsen, but he uses Brewer as a shield and shoots White, wounding him. Brewer then manages to overpower Madsen. Phelan arrives, recovers his handcuff key, and puts the cuffs on Madsen and also arrests Dorne for murdering Duval.

The film begins with Guruji rescuing innocent people and performing noble deeds. His devotees offer him sweets to celebrate the government's declaration that the local tribe of primitive people are terrorists. An army is deployed to repel the so-called terrorists, but after some of the army's soldiers are killed by the Ace Archers, the army plans a mission that will remove the primitive people. Guruji dislikes the idea of declaring the primitive people terrorists. According to Guruji, all people are humans, and no inhumane treatment is justified. He believes that even if the local primitive people behave in an uncivilised way, they are not animals, and that every person has the ability to be transformed by love and affection. Even though the primitive people endanger Guruji's life, Guruji decides to advocate for them. A police inspector named Arjun attacks the primitive people, but Guruji saves him after he is badly injured. Arjun goes to meet Guruji with Babru. Guruji also saves the life of the Tibru tribe's leader, Babru's son, and gains his confidence. Babru learns that Guruji has all the signs of Aadi Guru, the deity worshiped by the tribe for many years. Thus, the Tibru tribe becomes civilised by Guruji and abandons their practice of hunting and killing animals for food. Suddenly, the head of the 16 tribes, Ajgar, demands a sacrifice. When Guruji asks the tribe to refuse, he learns that they oppose civilised people and that Ajgar saved them from civilised people. When asked why they hate people who live in cities, Babru states city-dwellers are successors to Eklavya's tribe. As Guru Dakshina, Eklavya was a renowned Archer who gave his thumb, but could not earn respect for his tribe. His forefathers tell him not to worry and say that during Kalyuga there will be a man who will bring respect to the tribe. On Guruji's insistence, the tribe refuses to offer a sacrifice. On hearing this, Ajgar is enraged and takes the whole tribe as his hostage, but Guruji saves them. Soon Ajgar realizes that Guruji is no ordinary man and that the army might kill him. His own tribe seems to be against him, as the army is about to enter the area to kill the tribe, as they had been labeled as antisocial terrorists. It seems wise to surrender his life to the army rather than risk his entire tribe. He asks for pardon from Guruji for his deeds and runs away, saying that he is going to surrender himself, but when the army takes him as a hostage, Guruji arrives and fights the entire army by himself. Durjan Singh suddenly arrives and tells Guruji how he tried multiple times to prevent the minister from instigating the army into believing that the primitive tribe is its biggest enemy. They were even trying to take Guruji's life but failed miserably because of Guruji. At this point the army realizes that Durjan Singh is misleading them and that Guruji is the man "Saint Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan" who has been donating blood to the army, eyes to the old parents of army officers, even kidneys to the needy army personnel. They ask Guruji to forgive them, and Durjan Singh once again is defeated by Guruji's noble deeds.

The story is introduced as a famous legend, often recalled in later years. Lord Crudelta, wanting to experiment with sending a person through space-three (usually written as ), selects Artyr Rambo; he is in a hospital on Earth Four, anxious to find his lover Elizabeth. (The name "Artyr Rambo" is a phonetic spelling of "Arthur Rimbaud": "y" is the standard phonetic symbol for the vowel written "u" in French.) Having sent Elizabeth, who is dangerously ill, to a hospital on Earth, Crudelta constructs a special spaceship which sends Rambo through , almost immediately arriving on Earth. He is found naked and unconscious lying on grass by the hospital. In the hospital, he remains inert; the doctors wonder who he is and what explains the unique unresponsive state they find he is in. has given Rambo special powers: aware of Elizabeth's presence in the building, he tears his way through a wall, and his uttered word "No", when he cannot see her, has an effect on technology in the area. Back in his hospital bed, he speaks gibberish when the doctors try to talk to him. Crudelta travels, by normal means, from Earth Four to Earth. Believing that Rambo might be a danger to humanity, he seizes troops and they enter the hospital. The leading soldiers turn and attack those behind. In two minutes of confusion, many people are killed. Rambo, asleep and unaware of his powers, had caused the troops nearest Elizabeth to defend her against the rest. There is later a trial of Lord Crudelta. He tells the Investigating Lord that he induced rage in Rambo by saying that Elizabeth was at the edge of death, so that he would want to come faster to Earth than anyone had done, to make him travel through . He says he chose Earth Four to select someone, because it was a planet of explorers and adventurers where the rage level was already high. When Rambo testifies, he becomes articulate when he describes the journey through ; he says "I was the ship.... I was the drunkboat myself", and he expresses the experience with striking imagery (taken from Arthur Rimbaud's poem "Le Bateau ivre"). For Crudelta, the conclusion of the panel of seven Lords of the Instrumentality is "He has many troubles ahead of him, and we wish to add to them." Rambo and Elizabeth are brought back to health and are free to continue their lives. Although their relationship has less intensity than formerly on Earth Four, he is happy: "A man who has been through needs very little in life, outside of not going back to ."

The year is 1923, the Age of Vaudeville. It is a magical, musical time when birds and monsters can put on a show that will fill a theatre. Outside of house, plesiosaur impresario Armitage Shanks (aka the “Loch Ness Monster”) hawks his all-avian revue “Love Birds” to passersby on the street. (Fanfare / Barrelhouse Barker). Inside the theatre, famed Italian crooning parrot, Baalthazar Macaw (aka “The Feathered Caruso”) sings his World War I era hit (Glorious Gull Of The Glen). But just as he trills the final electrifying notes of his song, a mysterious person in the audience audibly bites into a “Crunchy Cracker”. After the show, an outraged Baalthazar storms off, swearing never to return to the Love Birds stage. Armitage chases after his old friend (and star attraction of the show). Just then, a well-meaning quartet of penguins inadvertently blocks the plesiosaur's passage. Dismayed at losing sight of Baalthazar, Armitage's mood brightens when he discovers that the fresh-faced foursome can sing. After hearing only a short excerpt of their song (Mary Poppins), Armitage hires the quartet on the spot. Suddenly gussied-up in barbershop regalia, Parker, Presley, Pewcey and Puck take the stage as performers in the show. Overnight the four penguins become a regular fixture in the “Love Birds” revue, singing and dancing alongside Baalthazar's backup singers, the three musical veteran macaws, Vera, Veronica and Valentine (Tinpanorama). Albeit performances run to half empty houses, Armitage is gratified that he can still, at least keep the show running. He tries to reassure Valentine (who is Baalthazar's daughter) that although her father will, from time to time, pull melodramatic stunts, eventually he always “flies right.” Still, until his return, the plesiosaur suggests the company will have to “improvise a little”. He encourages the Love Birds cast to continue to find new (family-friendly) material to perform. In this spirit, the penguins and parrots cobble together an operetta entitled, “The Unlikely Saga of Sadie Macaw”. Its debut marks the first time precocious Puck plays opposite parrot ingénue Valentine (Sadie Macaw [pt. 1] / Bird With The Broken Heart / Valentine / Sadie Macaw [pt. 2]). The next day, Puck finds Valentine backstage, rummaging through Armitage's old trunk of songs, looking for something to sing. Clearly smitten with the parrot, Puck awkwardly presents her with “a rose of congratulation” in recognition of their first performance together. Valentine enjoys the attention of her would-be suitor even though she doesn’t take Puck particularly seriously. Still Puck making her laugh serves as a much needed reprieve from her ongoing worry concerning her missing father. Together the penguin and the parrot sift through a flurry of quirky songs, each one possessing a more peculiar title than the last. When they finally happen on a song called “Today Is Yesterday’s Tomorrow” Valentine explains that “Armitage gave up songwriting after that!” Just then, Armitage appears. He elaborates that he gave up songwriting because the publishers said he was a dinosaur (Old Fashioned Guy). The song morphs into an “on-stage” soft-shoe number. Halfway through, Baalthazar unexpectedly swoops back onto stage. Two old cronies, Baalthazar and Armitage, finish out the number together, revealing the deep-seated friendship they share for each other, despite their differences and ongoing squabbles. When the song concludes, the mood shifts. Baalthazar tries to persuade Armitage into modernizing the show by introducing elements of burlesque. Armitage is adamant that he will never let the show “go blue” even if it means not making much money. Frustrated, Baalthazar exits and Veronica finds Armitage alone. Wanting to thank him for giving her the job singing in the troupe, she makes seductive advances toward him. Taken aback, Armitage stops Veronica from going any further. He tells her that she doesn’t ever have to thank him in that sort of manner. He confides in her that to him she is a “an angel – with wings and a celestial voice” He entered show business so that he could be close to that, not so that he could destroy it. Veronica is moved to tears. Meanwhile, Baalthazar has not given up trying to bring in more revenue vis-à-vis “going burlesque”. To this end, he works behind the scenes, convincing Presley and the other penguins to perform a more titillating, Charleston-esque song (The Flipper Flap). As the song concludes, Armitage storms the stage, apologizing to the audience for the penguins’ choice of “blue” material. Backstage, the plesiosaur chastises the penguins. Awash in feelings of guilt (and confusion) Presley repents, committing to make more traditional choices in his life moving forward (Old Fashioned Guy [Reprise]). Dressed as a male mobster (parrot), Vera performs, (The Sharpest Smile) a cautionary tale about a doomed romance between a parrot and a crocodile named “Pearl” (who is played by Armitage). As the song progresses, “Pearl” chases the “mobster” up and down the stage in a loving attempt to eat the mobster alive. In a private moment, Baalthazar discloses (only to the audience) his obsession with “Crunchy Crackers”. He explains that mankind has systematically used “the devil biscuit” to oppress his species. He vows never to allow the Crunchy Cracker to wield such power over him. Just then Veronica enters. Efforts thwarted once already, Baalthazar maneuvers Veronica into singing a burlesque interpretation of a song he knows Armitage wouldn’t suspect could “go blue” – because it's a song that Armitage himself wrote (Paint A Rainbow). Baalthazar wagers that once they see it performed, the audience will get a taste for Veronica's risqué “feather dance” and it will become an inevitable fait accompli that the show must “go blue”. When Armitage finally sees what's happening on stage though, he's mortified. As the number finishes, the Machiavellian macaw victoriously takes the spotlight. As he had predicted, the audience responds with hoots and hollers. He then reveals to the audience that the feather dance was his idea after all. Armitage takes the stage, once again expressing his deep disappointment with the conniving parrot. Impetuously Baalthazar, yet again, storms out of the theatre. Valentine begs her father to stay, or at least to tell her where he's going, but Baalthazar refuses to tell her. Later that night, while attempting to acquire some Crunchy Crackers from a shady street vendor, Baalthazar is arrested. Having hit rock bottom, the humbled parrot confesses his cracker addiction to one and all (Crunchy Crackers). Baalthazar becomes so frenzied that he must be carried off stage so that he can seek help for his affliction. Armitage delivers the sad news that “Without a star who can fill the theatre seats, that night’s show must be their very last.” Valentine meets with her father just before he's about to leave for the Cracker Asylum. She has a long overdue conversation with Baalthazar about their relationship (On Cloudy Days). With all hope seemingly lost, Puck cheers Valentine up just as they’re about to go on stage for the very last time. Suddenly Valentine sees the young penguin through different eyes (Love Birds). At the song's conclusion, penguin and parrot kiss, causing a scandal that hits all the newspapers. Armitage is forced to appear before the Supreme Court where he must now stand trial in front of the Chief Justice of the land. The case is ultimately dismissed due to there being no actual laws broken. The show is reopened and due to the recent notoriety it had received, becomes more popular than ever. In light of Valentine and Puck's romance, Presley and Veronica announce that they too are in love. Armitage reluctantly gives the birds his blessing – and as he does, a sudden surge of euphoria washes over him, making him realize how good casting off outmoded convictions can feel. The plesiosaur's newfound spirit of acceptance is quickly put to the test when Parker and Pewcey reveal that they too, “have found love!” To everyone's surprise, Armitage rushes to congratulate the two penguins. Parker and Pewcey are deeply relieved to receive Armitage's approval. Then Armitage adds enigmatically, that he looks forward to meeting the penguins’ future WIVES too”. Finally back from the “Cracker Palace,” and cracker-free for two months, Baalthazar appears on stage. He consoles Parker and Pewcey reminding them that Armitage is a dinosaur after all, and that one shouldn’t expect progressive thinking from a dinosaur. Then the reformed parrot adds that they shouldn’t worry: “Armitage will come around. He always does.” As the show comes to a close, Armitage tells the penguins, parrots and the audience that we should embrace love where we can find it (Today Is Yesterday's Tomorrow). Then, taking his own advice, he kisses Vera. (Love Birds [Finale]).

Riley's parents suspect their daughter is going out on a date, and their emotions react. Riley's mother attempts to get the information out of her, by attempting to sound cool and using slang terms, much to Riley's (and her emotions') chagrin. Riley's father tries to intimidate and interrogate Jordan. When Jordan mentions he plays in a band, Riley's father recalls his own memories of being in a band, and the two begin to bond over their shared love of AC/DC. Riley and her mother come downstairs, to see her father and Jordan playing air guitar to AC/DC's "Back in Black", causing embarrassment to Riley.

Theodore Finch and Violet Markey are two teenagers who badly want to escape from their small Indiana town. Violet is a popular girl who is secretly dealing with survivor's remorse, and Finch is a boy obsessed with death, labeled a freak by other students. Fate brought the two together when both climbed the bell tower at school at the same time, planning to jump off the ledge. Finch was surprised to see Violet up there, because she is one of the most popular girls in the school. However, Violet has been dealing with the death of her sister, Eleanor, who died 9 months previously in a car accident after Violet suggested the route home. Violet feels responsible and has not been in a car since. She quit the student council, then cheerleading, and struggles with survivor's remorse and thinks she should have died instead of Eleanor. On the ledge, Finch talks Violet down, and Violet returns the favor, but everyone assumes it's Violet who saved Finch. As for Finch, he suffers from depression and experiences near-constant thoughts of suicide during his so-called "Awake" periods. Finch's family does not understand his depression, making him feel isolated. Morbidly, he writes out fun facts about other people's suicides in his computer as well as methods of suicide and the best way to go. He initiates a partnership between himself and Violet for a school project in which they will explore their home state of Indiana together. Later, at home, Finch thinks about Violet, looking her up on Facebook, reading about her sister's accident (which he had forgotten) and chatting online with her. For their project, Finch and Violet travel around Indiana to see important or unusual sites. They see homemade roller coasters, the highest hill in Indiana (Hoosier Hill), and more. The important thing doesn't seem to be the sites themselves, but what the wandering begins to mean for both of them—especially Violet. The two begin a romantic relationship and fall in love. Eventually, Finch pushes Violet to get in the car and begin writing again, for the first time after her sister's accident nine months prior. He helps her begin to talk about her sister's death, which her parents have not managed to do. As a result, Violet begins to heal. Finch, however, is getting worse. He suffers from an undiagnosed bipolar disorder and therefore, deals with very high highs and very low lows. His behavior demonstrates the characteristic manic periods of impulsive excitability as well as the lethargic, pointless mindset during the depressive periods. He is also beaten by his father and bullied at school. He also refuses to be diagnosed because the labels make him feel trapped. The one shining spot in his life is his blossoming relationship with Violet. They wander around Indiana together some more; however, on one occasion they accidentally stay out until the next morning, angering Violet's parents and forbidding their daughter from seeing Finch again. This begins a downward spiral for Finch, who ends up getting expelled from school. Although he still sees Violet on occasion, Finch is easily able to hide his worsening depression from her. Violet doesn't realize the seriousness of the situation and wonders if Finch is losing interest in her. One particularly bad night, Finch decides to end his life. He takes a handful of sleeping pills, but almost immediately regrets it. He goes to the emergency room and gets his stomach pumped. After that, he tries to get help through a suicide support group in a nearby town. There, he runs into Amanda, another girl he knows from school. She is concerned about Finch's suicide attempt and tells Violet about it. Violet is obviously worried and tries to help. Finch explodes, angry at her concern, so similar to everyone else even though she is supposed to understand him best, and the two get in a big fight. Finch runs away from home, and Violet seems to be the only one looking for him. He sends her mysterious texts while he visits the remaining locations for their unfinished project, although Violet doesn't understand them until much later, thinking Finch was just being rudely cryptic. A month after he has disappeared, Finch sends an email to every single person he knows, saying goodbye. Violet, in a panic, figures out that he has drowned himself at the Blue Hole, one of their wandering sites. She goes there and discovers she is right, and she becomes distraught. Later, she manages to decode the texts Finch had sent her, and at the last location they were supposed to visit together, Finch wrote a song for her. This helps the healing process and convinces Violet that Finch's suicide was not her fault. The book closes with Violet going swimming by herself in the Blue Hole, where she went swimming with Finch, bringing her a sense of peace.

The short is essentially a spot gag cartoon with nursery rhymes. The cartoon is narrated by Robert C. Bruce. The first nursery rhyme is Mary, Mary Quite Contrary as played by Katharine Hepburn. The narrator speaks the first line of the rhyme: "Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary---- how does your garden grow?" to which Mary replies "I'm terribly sorry, but confidentially, it stinks." (a reference to a line from the 1938 comedy film You Can't Take It with You http://www.warnercompanion.com/eowbcc-c.html). It is then revealed that the garden is full of litter and trash. The page turns to Humpty Dumpty. Humpty, like the rhyme says, falls off the wall and appears unharmed. However, when he gets up it is revealed that the part where his butt cheeks are at are cracked. The next page shows Jack and Jill as a teenage couple. As the narrator recites the rhyme, Jack and Jill go behind the well. The narrator is stumped and repeats "to fetch a pail of water" but nothing happens. The narrator does it again and Jack comes down with kiss marks on his face and says "The heck with the water" and runs back behind the well. In the next scene, the rhyme is Little Miss Muffet. As the spider prepares to pounce on Little Miss Muffet, she is revealed to be ugly and scares the spider away. The scene is moved along to The Three Little Pigs. The pigs scurry into the house and the Big Bad Wolf. As the Wolf starts to blow the house down, one of the pigs opens the door and hands him a bottle of Histerine (a parody of Listerine). The wolf, now upset, yells "Why don't some of my best friends tell me these things!" and begins to drink up the bottle. The next scene involves the Parade of Wooden Soldiers. The narrator compliments the uniform marching but it is soon revealed that they are walking rather sloppily and are all wobbly. It then takes the story to Star Light, Star Bright with a dog that wishes for a tree. The next rhyme is Jack Be Nimble as Jack jumps over the candlestick. He then brags "Aww, there's nothin' to it. Just fast. Speedy, that's me. Flames didn't even touch me". As Jack turns and walks away his butt has actually been burned by the candle. The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe struggles to take care of her kids and the camera then pans over to her husband who is sitting in a chair relaxing while reading a newspaper. The next scene features Little Hiawatha. Hiawatha then shoots his arrow into the air like the poem implies. Soon an eagle lands next to Hiawatha and returns his arrow that apparently hit him in the tail feather. The final rhyme in the short is The Night Before Christmas. Inside a house two mice are apparently still stirring. The first mouse whispers, "Merry Christmas". The other mouse then angrily yells, "QUIET!" ending the cartoon with the embarrassed mouse.

Pop Lane, his daughter Flip, con men Nick and The Deacon, and wheeler-dealer Joe Taylor are grifters running a failed carnival concession in New York. They scheme to stage a scam public wedding, with Flip as the bride, Nick as the groom, and The Deacon as the judge, but the con men abscond with the gate receipts. Confronted with a restless audience eager for their money's worth, Pop enlists "starving artist" Tony Burke as a stand-in. The "wedding" is a great success but to the surprise of all, the "judge" performing the ceremony is a real justice of the peace, and Flip and Tony find themselves actually married. Flip angrily walks out on Pop, impressing Tony, who takes her to his studio above a stable and suggests that their marriage might be a good idea after all. The penniless Pop and Joe track them down and Tony agrees to put them up for a night. The next morning Pop and Joe try to hock Flip's wedding dress but instead hit up fan dancer Tessie Schultz for a loan after rescuing her from a police raid. The wedding dress gives Joe the idea to promote Tessie as stripper "Lillith Love" by having her pretend to be an amnesiac bride who attempted suicide after being left at the altar. In the meantime, Flip tries to peddle Tony's paintings without success because he has no reputation. The publicity about Joe's stunt prompts Flip to get people talking about Tony by foisting him off as the groom who "placed Art before Love." Society matrons clamor for portraits but nothing is happening for Pop, Joe and Tessie. Because Flip took advantage of their set-up, they demand that she cut them in on the profits. When Tony learns about Flip's manipulations, he is furious. But realizing that they love each other, however, he agrees to try the marriage if Flip will let him be the boss. Tony plans to clean his financial success of its "larcenous taint" by endowing a fellowship to send deserving young artists to Europe to learn their craft without financial struggle. He offers Pop and the others a check for $1,000 to get out of town. Pop uses the check as a prop to pretend to raise donations as treasurer of the "Anthony Burke Traveling Fellowship, Ltd.", bilking New York society into donating. Flip discovers the racket just after fake fellowship has withdrawn all its funds from the bank in cash. Tony is arrested for obtaining money on false pretenses, and Flip pursues Pop, Joe and Tessie to the airport. She discovers that the serial numbers of the cash are consecutive. She convinces them the money is hot and to give it to her since they will be arrested if they are caught with it. Before they can leave the airport, though, they are nabbed by the victim of one of their earlier schemes. Flip redeposits the money in an irrevocable trust to be used for its real purpose, and shows the police the deposit slip to gain Tony's release. Tessie visits Pop in jail with the "wonderful romantic news" that Flip and Tony have sailed to Europe for their honeymoon.

Soldiers led by sergeant Gamba, arrive and wants to know whether Fortunato has seen a man on the trail. Fortunato evades Gamba's questions, and the sergeant suspects that the boy is in complicity with Gianetto. He threatens to beat Fortunato, but the boy only replies that he is Matteo Falcone's son, and the sergeant understands that he dare not harm Fortunato for fear of angering the father. The soldiers search the property but find nothing. Finally, Gamba attempts to bribe Fortunato with a shiny new watch. As Gamba speaks he brings the watch closer and closer until it is almost touching Fortunato's pale cheek.

Avelum is very much a novel of Georgia—a Soviet Socialist Republic for most of Avelum's (and Chiladze's) life, but the book written and first appearing in a newly independent nation. There's a sense of fatalism -- "Probably nothing more was going to change for a long time here in Georgia, assuming that anything ever changed"—while throughout Avelum struggles with his role in the process of political change. Two dates mark his life, both instantly recognizable to Georgian readers (both also sometimes call the 'Tbilisi massacre'): 9 March 1956, when Soviet troops fired on protesting students, and 9 April 1989, when Soviet troop again fired on protesters. These are historically fraught dates: 9 March was the third anniversary of the death of (Georgian-born) Stalin, and the protests in part a reaction to Khrushchev's 20th Congress denunciation of Stalin. As to the 9 April events: while it would be two more years before independence was declared, the 1989 clash was the turning point in anti-Soviet protests—and is still celebrated as a public holiday in Georgia, the Day of National Unity. On both days, Avelum feels he falls short. In 1956 he sees an injured boy but is unable to really help him. In 1989 his daughter, called Little Katie, takes part in the protests, and winds up deeply scarred by events, compounding uninvolved Avelum's feelings of guilt. These two separate events and their fallout, so important in both the history of Georgia and in Avelum's own life, hover over the entire book, even as Chiladze shifts his focus elsewhere. Much of the novel, in fact, deals with entirely different matters—in particular, Avelum's efforts at flight, both geographically and into love-affairs (his attempts to flee connected, as he travels to Moscow and abroad because of the women in his life). Avelum is married to Melania, the mother of Little Katie, and despite his straying he remains devoted to her and their family-unit in Tbilisi—in no small part because of their shared history, which is also their shared national history: "Of all of Avelum's womanfolk, only Melania could understand him, because they endured together 9 March 1956 and 9 April 1989" Still, back in still securely Soviet times Avelum and Françoise, visiting from France, began a long-lasting relationship. First mainly in a roundabout back and forth of letters, but then much more up-close- and-personal, when Françoise found an opportunity to move to Moscow for two years. Her great desire is, if she can't have Avelum all to herself, at least to have his child—which she then does back in France, a girl that Avelum doesn't see until he visits when she is already thirteen years old (even then the visit happening: "more thanks to 'perestroika' than to his own efforts"—in this as in many matters, he doesn't prove himself to be much of a man of action or initiative). Avelum doesn't lose touch with Françoise over the years, and there are reunions, but he also takes a new mistress back in the Soviet Union, Sonia—to keep him busy or distracted: he's a man of passions, but rather self-absorbed in them. When their affair is still in its earliest stages, someone happens to tell Françoise about Avelum: "The man is pretty well our best known Georgian, but as a womaniser, not a writer." While clearly a well-established writer, the focus in Avelum is on his personal life. There is some mention of his (Chiladze-echoing) work and preoccupations, such as Abelum's dreams that are variations on "various episodes from his last novel"—but literature hardly figures anywhere at the fore any longer. It is also a sign of the times, especially the times of Soviet collapse, as Chiladze notes: "But we, today's people, don't want literature any more. At best, we sell our books for recycling (as lavatory paper) or, if we need to, we use books as cheap fuel. Yes sir. As you like." A bit later, he hammers home his point: "One idiotic novel can easily give us two or three rolls of lavatory paper. Anyway, to be frank, food for the soul, like any other food, sooner or later ends up as excrement of one kind or another." In some ways a larger than life figure, Avelum seems constantly to feel marginalized. His writing doesn't occupy an important place in these time any longer, it would seem, and the women in his life are set on their own paths, which he can stray onto but doesn't seem to play a significant role in. So, while his illegitimate French daughter greets him eagerly the first time they meet, by the time she's fifteen her focus is entirely elsewhere. Damaged Little Katie is largely lost to him, and his mistresses have lives of their own in which he plays, at best a peripheral role. It's tough for needy Avelum: "I was like the refugee trying to cram into a suitcase more than it would hold. Actually, I was trying to find a place in my life for love: that's why my whole being, all my life, was as taut as a violin string or a bow-string, to the point of pain" Avelum remains a bystander to most events, marked already by the memory of the boy he couldn't save in 1956. Yet he is keenly aware—and deeply troubled—by what he sees and what happens, and especially the violent upheavals around him. Self- absorbed, he retreats into his love-affairs, but even he recognizes they only offer so much escape. Over the course of the novel Chiladze impressively presents a national portrait along that of Avelum: Georgia, and questions of national identity, purpose, and history repeatedly figure and are addressed, both overtly and more subtly. It is a novel specifically of transition—even as it shows how transition itself is a constant—and turns expertly on 9 April 1989 to present a remarkable account of this particular Georgian changeover, within the context of both Georgian history but also personal experience. In focusing so much on the personal, Chiladze also conveys history to much greater effect than more obviously 'historical' novels generally do. A powerful, personal work.

The Commune is an improv troupe in New York headed by Miles (Birbiglia). Other members include Jack, a talented improviser with a tendency to grandstand; Sam, his insecure girlfriend who acts as the group's emcee; Allison, who has been working on a graphic novel for years; Lindsay, who lives off of her wealthy parents; and Bill, who loves improv but feels increasingly unsuccessful. One night, the group learns that staff from Weekend Live, a Saturday Night Live–style show, are attending a performance. Miles is excited for another chance to audition for the show, having auditioned and not been selected years ago. However, Jack ends up grandstanding during the performance, much to the anger of the rest of the group. Following the performance, Jack receives a phone call informing him that he and Sam are being invited to audition. Jack attends the audition, but Sam loses her nerve at the last minute and does not. Jack is selected as a new cast member, and his friends begin asking about the possibility of joining the writing staff, or having Jack arrange auditions for them. Meanwhile, Bill's father is in a serious motorcycle accident and the group travels to Philadelphia to visit him in the hospital. Jack finds success at Weekend Live playing an old-timey ticket taker in a sketch, but finds the pressure of the show difficult to manage. The Commune sees an uptick in its audience, but they are mostly there to see Jack and his ticket taker character rather than the rest of the performers. With their theater space closing, the group decides to hold a show at a new space, but the ticket price discourages audiences from attending and they fail to recoup their investment. The group gathers to watch Weekend Live and discovers Jack performing a sketch they had improvised at a prior Commune show. Infuriated, the group crashes the after party. Miles confronts Jack and punches him before being thrown out. When he then confronts Lindsay for failing to support him, she reveals that she has been hired by the show and did not want to embarrass herself in front of her new co workers. Embittered by this revelation, Miles, Allison, and Bill storm off. At the final Commune show, Sam stands on stage alone and asks her usual opening question "Has anyone had a particularly bad day?" When an audience member suggests that Sam herself looks like she's had a bad day, she agrees and launches into a solo improv where she is trapped at the bottom of a well while her other castmates cannot decide how to help her. Jack arrives and joins the scene, promising that he will not abandon her. But Sam tells him that she is happy in the well and she knows and accepts that their relationship is over. Eight months later, Jack and Lindsay continue to enjoy success performing and writing for Weekend Live. Miles is in a long term relationship with an old flame from high school, and Sam, Bill, and Allison are starting a new improv group and looking for local talent. The group reunite for Bill’s father’s funeral. Despite their conflict, the group has remained friends.

The story begins at the end of the 19th century when a Russian officer seduces a Georgian shepherd’s wife: the resulting bastard, the ancestor of the novels anti-heroes, is kept in a basket where he cannot interfere with his mother’s adultery. The shepherd avenges himself by murdering his wife and disemboweling himself, but fails to kill the boy in the basket. The boy, Razhden Kasheli, later rapes his foster-mother, before disappearing to become a robber and murderer, returning to Georgia with the Red Army and a female tramp he has married: he becomes a killer for the Soviet authorities. After he is murdered by a drunken Assyrian, his son Anton acts as a GPU and NKVD killer in the Great Terror of 1937-8, shooting countless victims. Anton’s great achievement is to marry Princess Ketusi, whose father and husband he has murdered, thus initiating the process, fatal for Georgian society, of intermarrying and interbreeding Soviet killers with Georgian aristocrats and intellectuals. Anton is killed by a runaway truck in 1949, but his son Razhden 2nd takes over as an important Soviet official. Razhden’s son Anton second may not, however, be a real Kasheli, since his mother Pepe was pregnant before the parents married. Anton is a childish dreamer and, manipulated by Razhden 2nd , marries Liziko, the daughter of an unworldly writer, Elizbar. Razhden seduces Liziko: both Anton and Elizbar find out after Liziko confesses to her stepmother. More important even than these violent sexual and homicidal events are the author’s and character’s reflections on the irrecoverable degradation of the country.book.gov.ge

Dr. Jan Żabiński (Johan Heldenbergh) is director of the Warsaw Zoo, one of the largest in 1930s Europe, assisted by his wife, Antonina (Jessica Chastain). On September 1, 1939, the aerial bombardment of Warsaw and Invasion of Poland commences. Antonina and her son Ryszard (Timothy Radford and later, Val Maloku) barely survive. As Polish resistance collapses, Dr. Lutz Heck (Daniel Brühl), head of the Berlin Zoo and Adolf Hitler's chief zoologist and Jan's professional rival, visits the zoo while Jan is away. He offers to house the prized animals until after the war, later returning with Nazi soldiers to shoot the rest. He develops a romantic interest in Antonina. The Jews of Warsaw are forced into the Ghetto. The Żabińskis' Jewish friends, Maurycy Fraenkel (Iddo Goldberg) and his partner Magda Gross (Efrat Dor), seek a safe place for a friend's insect collection. Antonina offers to shelter Magda. Knowing they can be executed for helping Jews, Jan and Antonina decide to use the zoo to save more lives. They seek out Heck to propose turning the abandoned zoo into a pig farm to feed the German occupying forces, secretly hoping to bring food to the Ghetto. Heck, in need of a new site for his experiments in recreating aurochs as a symbol of the Reich, agrees. Jan collects garbage from the Ghetto for the pigs and sees Jews starving. He begins working with the Underground Army to transport Jews to safehouses throughout the country. Jews are hidden in the zoo’s cages, tunnels, and inside the Żabińskis’ house. After some trepidation, Antonina agrees to help. The Żabińskis continue smuggling Jews out of the Ghetto. In 1942, the Germans begin deporting Jews to death camps. Jan has no choice but to help load them into cattle cars under the Germans' watch. In 1943, two women rescued by Jan and disguised as Aryans by Antonina are executed in a Warsaw street. Several months later, after a failed uprising, the Germans plan to liquidate the Ghetto on Hitler's birthday, also the first night of Passover. While the hidden Jews mournfully celebrate a secret Passover Seder, the Germans burn the Ghetto, killing those inside. Several months later, Antonina gives birth to a baby girl, whom Ryszard names Teresa. As Heck's attraction to Antonina intensifies, she struggles to fend him off while guarding the secret "guests." Jan participates in the Warsaw uprising and is captured; Antonina fears him dead. In January 1945, as Soviet troops force the Germans to retreat, the enemy begins evacuating Warsaw. Antonina seeks Heck's help to find Jan, but he refuses and accuses her of resistance activity, attacking her in a sexual rage. She confesses that he repulses her, and Heck realizes she has duped him. Antonina helps her guests escape. Magda takes baby Teresa with her as Antonina hides Ryszard in the basement. Heck arrives in a fury with his men, discovering the secret drawings on the basement walls: Stars of David, dates, and guests drawn with animal faces. Heck threatens to shoot Ryszard, ignoring Antonina's pleas as he drags her son away. A shot rings out and Antonina collapses. Ryszard returns unharmed, and Heck leaves the zoo for good. Antonina and Ryszard join the march out of Warsaw, bringing a rabbit and one of Heck's young bison. As they leave their home and the city is liberated, they release the bison into the woods. Four months after the Nazi surrender, Warsaw begins rebuilding. Antonina, Ryszard and baby Teresa return to find the damaged zoo still standing, along with Jerzyk, their loyal zookeeper. Jan returns home, having survived a prison camp. In the film's final moment, the Żabińskis paint Stars of David on all the cages in the zoo. An epilogue reveals that the Żabińskis saved 300 people. Lutz Heck returned to Berlin, where his zoo was destroyed by Allied bombings, and his efforts to recreate aurochs failed. The Żabińskis were recognized by Israel (Yad Vashem) for their righteous acts and defiance against the Germans. The Żabińskis rebuilt the Warsaw Zoo, which remains open to this day.

Dr. Peter Newmans (Johnny Simmons) is a 27-year-old sex therapist who lives a quiet life alone, silently crushing on his pretty neighbour, Michelle (Brittany Snow). He is known for being a very non-sexual person, and has written a book about how sex is not a necessity. Michelle breaks up with her workaholic boyfriend, and Peter takes the opportunity to comfort her. In her vulnerability, Michelle kisses Peter. He lies and says he has a headache in order to get out of the situation. Feeling like a freak because he doesn't feel attracted to women the way other men do, he returns to his apartment. The next morning, he is persuaded by his friends (Kumail Nanjiani and Beck Bennett) to join them at their weekend basketball game, where he is hit in the groin and falls to the ground. He attends an emergency room, where his friends say he may have hit his head, so the doctor orders a head CT scan, followed by an MRI. During his initial physical examination, the doctor has noticed Peter's under-developed testicles, and becomes increasingly concerned. It is discovered that Peter has a long-term benign brain tumor pressed against his pituitary gland, which has caused prolactin to be released into his system while suppressing his testosterone production. This means that he has never transitioned to puberty. Elated to learn that he is not a "freak", Peter insists that a procedure be undertaken immediately to remove the tumor. After a successful excision, he stays with his parents (J. K. Simmons and Maria Bello) to recover. A little later, he wakes with his first erection, signalling his transition into puberty. With the onset of puberty, Peter experiences some of its less welcome side-effects, including mood swings, strong sexual desires, voice changes, and severe acne. After Michelle leaves for a cooking retreat with Bobby Flay, his symptoms become progressively more severe. During a FaceTime call with her, he lashes out because of his unfamiliar feelings of jealousy. After Michelle returns, she agrees to a date with Peter, but he blows it by behaving like a jerk. He becomes depressed and tries to receive oral sex from one of his patients, but is caught and subsequently fired by his boss (Jane Lynch). He is forced to come to terms with his situation, and has a heart-to-heart with his father over what it means to "be a man". Reflecting on his anti-sex book, Peter concludes that a person should have all the (consensual) sex possible, and society should cease to sex-shame individuals because "it's awesome". Peter eventually manages to apologize to Michelle, and they live happily ever after.

Kristian Eikjord (Joner), an experienced geologist, is having his final day of duty in the famous Norwegian tourist destination Geiranger, and is scheduled to move to Stavanger with his family. After a small farewell feast with his colleagues at the Åkerneset monitoring station, sensors on the mountain indicate groundwater has disappeared. The team tells Kristian not to worry, they will check it out. Later, Kristian and his children are leaving while his wife Idun (Torp) works at the local hotel for a few more days. Waiting for the ferry, Kristian has an epiphany after observing surrounding events and rushes back to the geology center, leaving his children Sondre (Oftebro) and Julia (Sande) in the car. There, he convinces them the waters are having a profound effect on the crevasse. He heads up by helicopter with Jacob, where they find the instrument-connected wires have snapped. Kristian's former boss Arvid (Såheim) agrees to enter a higher state of alert, but refuses to press the evacuation alarm based on the current evidence. Having done what he can, Kristian returns to his car, but finds the children were impatient and went to the hotel. There, he apologizes and Idun tells the children to sleep at the hotel for the night, but Julia wants to say goodbye to their house by spending one last night there. Kristian drives home with her to stay there one last time. Meanwhile, Sondre is bored in his hotel room and heads down to the basement with headphones to skateboard. Instrument calculations indicate contraction changes in the crevasse, thus Arvid and Jacob head there to check the "C-pumps" (used to measure specific conditions); they find the readings are accurate and not a malfunction. Kristian reviews his old documents and finds contractions can be a sign of an upcoming avalanche, due to water pressure changing within the mountain. Kristian dials the station and orders his colleagues to evacuate Arvid and Jacob from the crevasse immediately and sound the outdoor warning alarms to alert the residents of Geiranger that there is an imminent threat of a tsunami. Moments later, the avalanche happens; Arvid decides to sacrifice himself, linking Jacob to their zip-line after his foot is trapped, falling to his death shortly after. As feared, the rockslide crashes into the fjord and creates a gigantic tsunami approximately high roaring towards Geiranger. With ten minutes on the countdown, Kristian rushes to Geiranger with Julia to pick up his wife and son, but Idun orders them to ascend to safety. She and her colleague Vibeke desperately attempt to evacuate the hotel patrons onto a waiting bus, but Sondre is nowhere to be found. Time is quickly running out, but Idun refuses to leave him. Two Danish tourists (Maria and Philip Poulsen) are following her on the search. Kristian and Julia are stuck in traffic trying to get up the mountain, and realizing their altitude is dangerously low, they start running uphill on foot, yelling for everyone else to do the same. During the rush, a man forgets to set the car's brake, causing it to roll backwards and trap Anna's leg (Kristian's former neighbor). Kristian sends Julia up the mountain with Thomas (Anna's husband) and Teresa, their daughter. With seconds until wave impact, Kristian seats himself and Anna in a van in a desperate attempt to survive. The tsunami engulfs the vehicle into a chaotic underwater maelstrom. Idun finds Sondre, but the tsunami approaches too quickly. Rushing back downstairs to the basement's bomb shelter, the wave strikes the hotel violently and washes Maria away, forcing Idun to close the shelter's door after convincing Philip that Maria is already dead. Kristian realizes he miraculously survived the maelstrom, but finds Anna next to him dead, having been impaled by a large piece of debris. After Kristian finds Julia alive, he leaves her with Thomas and his daughter, while he heads back to Geiranger to find the rest of his family. The town has been wiped off the map, and he finds the evacuation bus, filled with dead passengers, including Vibeke. Realizing Idun and Sondre are not among them, he heads to the ruins of the hotel. Down in the bomb shelter, the water level rises and deforms the door, which is blocked by heavy debris. With the situation worsening, Philip panics and pushes Idun and Sondre underwater in a frenzied attempt to breathe. Unable to calm him down, Idun is forced to drown him. Kristian finds his son's backpack in one of the rooms, and feeling hopeless, he furiously bangs some exposed pipes with a metal rod. The noises are heard by Idun and Sondre, who then respond in like. Kristian tracks the noise to the bomb shelter, but as he dives, further damage occurs to the hotel, causing water to flood where they are taking refuge. He removes the heavy debris and reunites with Idun, but as he returns with Sondre, he runs out of air (after giving some to his panicked son). Idun heads back for him and begins a desperate attempt to revive him. While it seems Kristian has drowned and Idun accepts his death, Sondre gives one last frantic effort at revival, which pays off. The family is reunited at Ørnesvingen, and the film closes saying the events are likely to occur in the future, but the exact date is unpredictable.

Lena is a bright, disabled girl with myopathy who must use a wheelchair to get around. After years being homeschooled by her protective mother, she is keen to get back to school. She is assigned to a special class for physically and psychologically disabled students who have to present themselves before a school commission at the end of the year in order to prove that they merit being moved back into a "normal" class. There she meets a group of students; Mishka, brother and sister Mitka and Vitka, Olya, and Anton. Though initially appearing to be her friends, they quickly display high degrees of callousness when they treat it as a joke when one of their classmates is killed trying to lie beneath a moving train, an activity the group indulges in out of boredom. Their teachers, meanwhile, treat the corrections class with contempt and show absolutely no desire to motivate the students or help them improve. Anton, however, treats Lena with kindness, and the two soon begin a relationship. Lena admonishes the group for their behavior and urges them to concentrate on passing the commission so they can get back to normal school. Lena and Anton's relationship, however, upsets the rest of the group, particularly Mishka, who concocts a plan with the rest of the group to have sex with Lena.

His opponents - especially Attorney General Kreidler and Paul Gebhardt of the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) - triumph. During Bauer's recovery, a file disappears from his office. He then cites the prosecutors and asks them about progress in the prosecution of Nazi criminals. However, the prosecutors can not show anything. The young prosecutor Karl Angermann reminds Bauer that he received the file in question with the request of him, Bauer, to draft a statement. Bauer gets the feeling that he can rely on the young man, and invites him to a meeting on the weekend to his home, because he imagines in his authority as "in the enemy country". Bauer wants to bring Adolf Eichmann from Argentina to a German court. However, since the BKA and Interpol are not responsible for political crimes, Bauer is considering engaging Israeli intelligence service Mossad. With the receipt of a letter from Argentina, Bauer learns that Eichmann lives there under a different name. He passes on the letter to the Mossad and speaks in Israel as well. The Mossad boss Isser Harel already checked this trail, but wants Eichmann to be abducted only if Bauer has a second proof. Angermann asks Bauer for advice on the sentence in a homosexual trial. After Bauer's reference to a similar process, Angermann then demands a sensationally low penalty. Victoria, a friend of the defendant, thanks Angermann and invites him to the nightclub "Kokett". Angermann falls in love with the woman, who turns out to be transgender. At the same time, the BKA has photos of sexual activities between them and tries to blackmail him with them. When Bauer discovers that the former Nazi Schneider at Daimler-Benz works in the human resources department for South America, he puts pressure on him to obtain Eichmann's code name in Argentina. He directs this to the Mossad to confirm the first lane. Eichmann is abducted in the sequence in Argentina by the Mossad and abducted to Israel. Bauer's application for extradition of Eichmann is rejected by the federal government under Konrad Adenauer, as there are extensive arms deals between the FRG and Israel and is feared by possible statements of Eichmann in front of a German court, a government crisis, as many former Nazis are represented in the state apparatus up to the Cabinet. Angermann cannot be blackmailed with the compromising photos and turns himself in for violating § 175. Bauer, who temporarily thought of giving up, then plunges into the Nazi investigation, which eventually leads to the Frankfurt Auschwitz trials.

The novel explores what might have happened had Joseph Stalin been raised in the United States, postulating his parents having emigrated a few months before his birth, instead of remaining in the Russian Empire. It depicts Stalin (in this history, taking the name Joe Steele) growing up to be an American politician, rising to the presidency and retaining it by ruthless methods through the Great Depression, World War II, and the early Cold War. The president is depicted as having the soul of a tyrant, with Stalin's real-world career mirrored by actions taken by Steele. During the 1932 Democratic Convention in Chicago, Illinois, the party had decided on two front runners: California Congressman Joe Steele, and; incumbent Governor of New York Franklin D. Roosevelt. However, after two days of votes, neither candidate has the needed two-thirds majority, although Roosevelt had a slight edge. Realizing he might lose after another day of voting, Steele directed one of his aides Vince "The Hammer" Scriabin to have Roosevelt burned alive at the New York State Executive Mansion in Albany. Steele's other assistants Lazar Kagan and Stas Mikoian were not privy to the initial planning. However, Charlie Sullivan, by happenstance, overheard Scriabin on the phone giving the order for the arson. Steele never knew this. However, in light of Sullivan's "fairness" in his reporting, Steele personally met with Sullivan and promised that Sullivan would always have access to Steele's camp. When the New York State Executive Mansion was set ablaze, Roosevelt is burned alive in the fire since he could not escape in time due to him being rendered immobile by polio. His wife Eleanor and several members of the mansion staff are also killed in the fire. The Roosevelts are then buried in Hyde Park, New York following their deaths. With Roosevelt dead, the Democratic Party has little choice but to nominate Steele as their candidate for the 1932 Presidential election with John Nance Garner of Texas as his running mate, with whom Steele had reached an early arrangement. Steele would go on to defeat Republican incumbent Herbert Hoover in a landslide and become the 32nd President of the United States. Rather than Roosevelt's New Deal plan, Steele implements the Four-Year Plan, in lieu of Stalin's Five-Year Plan, which entails massive infrastructure projects, nationalizing the banks and the formation of the Tennessee Valley Authority, as in the actual timeline, but also the formation of prisoner work camps for the pseudo-enemies of the state, called wreckers. Roosevelt's attempt to pack the United States Supreme Court to pass more of his New Deal laws is mirrored by Steele's arrest of four dissenting Supreme Court Justices (Pierce Butler, James Clark McReynolds, George Sutherland and Willis Van Devanter) known as the "Supreme Court Four" on charges of aiding foreign world powers, and has them executed. Additional political foes find similar charges leveled against them, including Senator Huey Long, who flees to his power base of Louisiana, but is assassinated regardless. In 1936, Steele and Garner are reelected in a landslide against Republican candidate Alf Landon and his running mate Frank Knox, who only carry eight electoral votes from Maine and Vermont. Steele and Garner would also go on to defeat Wendell Willkie in 1940, Thomas E. Dewey in 1944, Harold Stassen in 1948, and Robert Taft in 1952. In this timeline, Leon Trotsky is left as Lenin's heir, but Hitler's rise in postwar Germany commences with the same rapidity as in the real world. When World War II in Europe begins, only grudgingly does Steele commit to help Winston Churchill and Trotsky with the Lend Lease Act. When Japan attacks Pearl Harbor in 1941, Steele sets up tribunals to demand answers from commanders General Short and Admiral Kimmel, and has them executed for incompetence. When the Philippines suffers much the same fate, Douglas MacArthur is evacuated to Australia and then the United States, whereupon he is additionally charged with incompetence. Furious, MacArthur denies all allegations, but submits to execution to spare his family. Minus MacArthur, the war follows much the same path as in the real world with the notable exception of the Manhattan Project, as Albert Einstein does not approach President Steele to propose an atomic bomb program. Without nuclear weapons, the invasion of Japan sets the stage for the end of the Second World War, with American troops invading from the South and Soviet troops invading from the North. After Emperor Hirohito is killed in an air raid, the Japanese lose the will to fight and surrender. In the aftermath of Japan's surrender, the Soviets occupy the island of Hokkaido and the northern part of Honshu, under Fedor Tolbukhin with some Japanese Communists acting as his puppets in the new "Japanese People's Republic" (North Japan). Similarly, the U.S. establishes the "Constitutional Monarchy of Japan" (South Japan) in southern Honshu, Kyushu, and Shikoku. Hirohito's 12-year-old son Akihito becomes the new emperor, although he acts as a puppet to General Dwight D. Eisenhower, who is the one to actually run the country. The Agano River acts as the border between the two states with a demilitarized zone of three miles in either direction. Meanwhile, the Soviets liberate the Korean Peninsula from the Japanese in mid-1945 and established the puppet state of the People's Democratic Republic of Korea with Kim Il-Sung as its ruler. Evidence of German nuclear testing, captured by the Western Allies near the end of the war, is brought to the attention of Steele, who demands answers from Einstein. Einstein states the potential for a weapon of enormous destructive power, but says he did not want such a weapon in the hands of Joe Steele. Steele has Einstein executed (along with J. Robert Oppenheimer, Enrico Fermi, and other colleagues), and the American nuclear project hastily gets underway. The Cold War between Trotsky and Steele heats up in June 1948, resulting in a Korean War-esque Japanese War between an invading Communist North and an unprepared South, which ends in August 1949 after a short nuclear exchange which results in Sendai being nuked by the Americans and Nagano by the Soviets. In 1952, Steele is elected to his sixth term in the presidency over Republican candidate Robert Taft with the morose Vice President John Nance Garner in tow. On March 6, 1953, Steele dies from a stroke at the age of 74. Garner assumes the presidency of a shocked cabinet made up of Steele's cronies, and has virtually all of them removed. However, a newly courageous Congress impeaches Garner for the sins of Steele, and the executive branch becomes vacant. In the political vacuum, GBI (Government Bureau of Intelligence) director J. Edgar Hoover assumes political control and becomes Director of the United States. It is then revealed that his rule over the country is even more ruthless and tyrannical than Steele’s.

A famous author, Sandy Duffy (Conleth Hill), wrote his well-known and only novel, "A Patch of Fog" nearly 25 years ago. Present day, Sandy is a university lecturer and talk-show personality with co-host Lucy (Lara Pulver), who is also Sandy's girlfriend. Still riding the success of his only publication, Sandy has developed a shoplifting addiction and gets caught by a security guard, Robert Green (Stephen Graham). Robert detains Sandy, shows him the CCTV footage, and threatens to call the police. Sandy pleades with Robert, and Robert agrees not to call the police if Sandy goes for a drink with him. They force an awkward conversation. As Sandy gets ready to leave, Robert reminds him that he still has the copy of the shoplifting footage. They agree to meet again at the weekend for another drink and to exchange the video disk. After lecturing at university, Sandy tells his colleague about Robert, calling him a "sad little man." Robert walks into the classroom, having apparently eavesdropped on the conversation. Robert leads Sandy to some railroad tracks and gives him a coin and keeps the other for himself as a symbol of their new friendship. Sandy becomes increasing concerned with Robert's behaviour and apparent obsession with him. Sandy offers to meet Robert at the pub and they get into an argument. Sandy threatens to tell the police, and Robert threatens him back; they walk to the police station together. As they are approaching the service window, Robert reveals that he has copies of Sandy's other shoplifting incidents. Sandy apologies for threatening him, and they leave the police station. Sandy invites Robert to his house and gives him a tour. During the tour, Sandy explains that he doesn't have a copy of his famous novel, but has the original manuscript around the house somewhere. Sandy gets Robert high, offering him a marijuana cigarette, and pretends to connect with Robert. Sandy asks Robert to give him the disks, but Robert refuses. At a loss, Sandy takes more extreme measures. He invites Robert to attend a lecture at university. When Robert arrives, the lecturer informs him that Sandy called in sick. Meanwhile, Sandy drives to Robert's apartment, and breaks in through a back window. Sandy finds the disks and destroys the apartment, and then throws the disks into a river. Feeling relieved, Sandy resumes his life teaching university classes and speaking on the talk show. Just when everything is looking better, Sandy gets a video message from Robert depicting security footage from Robert's flat, which clearly shows Sandy's crime. Sandy then drives to Robert's flat, begging for forgiveness. Robert shows up at the train tracks, visibly distraught over Sandy's behavior because he genuinely thought that Sandy was his friend. He then steps in front of an oncoming train, but Sandy tackles Robert and saves him. On Robert's next shift at the store, he recognizes Lucy from Sandy's talk show. He introduces himself to Lucy and her daughter, Phoebe. Phoebe drops something and Robert picks it up; he is enraged to discover that it is the coin he gave to Sandy. Later that evening, Robert sees Sandy with Lucy and her daughter. Robert becomes angry and jealous, and smashes their car windows. The next day when Robert gets home, Sandy is waiting for him. The living room is empty except for the couch. Sandy explains that he had the delivery men remove all of Robert's furniture and that he ordered an entire new living room set. Sandy invites him to attend his university lecture that same evening. At the lecture, Sandy assigns the class a new project. He shows the class the video recording of him vandalizing Robert's flat, telling the class it is performance art] and he will email all the students the vide. After the lecture, Sandy tells Robert that his living room is now unrecognizable to the video, and he could have got the video from the email, meaning Robert no longer has anything he can use as blackmail. He tells Robert to stay away from him, that he always despised him and is happy to have Robert out of his life. Robert breaks into Sandy's house and begins searching the house. Eventually, he finds Sandy's original handwritten manuscript of "A Patch of Fog," which is shown to be written by his father. Robert then understands that Sandy's father wrote the book and that Sandy has been a fraud his whole life. Sandy gets home and demands that Robert return the manuscript, but Robert refuses and instead says that he will move in with Sandy to help him write his own book. Sandy gets angry and puts Robert in a headlock but slips and falls, breaking his neck and accidentally killing him. Sandy loads Robert's body into his boot, and drives to a lake. Sandy dumps Robert's body over the edge of the boat. However, a rope gets wrapped around Sandy's ankle and pulls him overboard. He gets dragged down with Robert, sinking, and drowns.

Dave says that he had to leave him behind. Dave's brother, Kenny (Kevin Janssens) is arrested and sentenced to seven years in prison. Four years later, Dave is working at a car wash and Sylvie is working as a waitress at a sleazy nightclub; both are now sober and Sylvie attends regular AA meetings. One day at work, Dave gets a phone call informing him that Kenny is getting released early. That night, he goes to pick up Sylvie at work, and it is revealed that they have been dating for some time and Sylvie is pregnant with Dave's child. Sylvie wants to tell Kenny about their relationship, but Dave is reluctant. Dave goes to pick Kenny up from prison. They stop on the way back to deliver a Christmas tree to their mother, Mariette (Viviane de Muynck). She makes Dave promise that he will take care of Kenny and stop him from getting in any more trouble. The following day, Dave takes Kenny with him to work at the carwash, and asks his boss, Robert, if he will hire Kenny. Robert initially says no, but after he loses a bet concerning a penalty kick in the soccer game that he is watching on TV, he hesitantly hires Kenny. One night, Kenny follows Sylvie to her AA meeting. He interrupts the meeting and berates her for abandoning him in prison. She gets up and leaves, but Kenny follows her out. After a brief fight outside, Kenny relents and invites Sylvie to Christmas dinner at his house with his mother and Dave. Sylvie says she will think about it; Dave secretly watches the scene unfold from his car. Later, as Dave and Sylvie search for an apartment together, Sylvie tells Dave that Kenny invited her to Christmas dinner. Dave tells her that she must come, insisting that Kenny will find it strange if she doesn't. At the Christmas dinner at Mariette's house, Kenny tries to pour Dave a glass of wine, but Dave tells him that he is now sober, which upsets Kenny. Mariette pulls Dave aside later and asks him when he is going to tell Kenny that Sylvie is pregnant with his child; Dave avoids the question. Later, Kenny invites Dave to come with him to the club where Sylvie works. At the club, Dave tries to tell Kenny about the situation with Sylvie, but Kenny gets distracted watching Sylvie; he thinks she is flirting with her boss, Chalid. Kenny goes to confront Chalid and insults him, eventually beating him up after Chalid suggests that Kenny can no longer properly take care of Sylvie. As Kenny leaves the bar, he tries to apologize to Sylvie, but she rebuffs his apology, telling Kenny that she stopped visiting him in prison because he only reminded her of all the mistakes she'd made in her life. The next day, while Kenny is at work at the car wash, he gets attacked by two of Chalid's goons. Kenny manages to overpower them, but Robert sees the fight and fires both Dave and Kenny. That night, Kenny borrows Dave's car and uses it to follow Sylvie after work. Again, he sees her talking with Chalid. Immediately after, Dave gets a phone call from Kenny and meets him in a parking garage. Kenny has a body in the trunk and needs Dave's help to dispose of it; Kenny claims that he tried to stand up to Chalid but that Chalid fell and cracked his head. Kenny says that his cellmate from prison, Stefan (Jan Bijvoet) is going to help them dispose of the body; Dave is reluctant to help, until Kenny threatens to tell the police that Dave was his accomplice in the robbery that got him arrested years ago. Kenny and Dave drive out to the Ardennes, with the body still in the trunk of Dave's car. They meet Joyce (Sam Louwyck), Stefan's transvestite lover, who brings them to Stefan's property - a trailer in the middle of the forest. At Stefan's trailer, Kenny and Stefan snort cocaine off a knife while Joyce makes them pancakes. The gamekeeper for the forest, Gérard (Eric Godon) and his dog, Ricardo, arrive suddenly at Stefan's trailer to inform Stefan that some ostriches have gotten loose and are wandering the countryside. Gérard tells them that if they encounter an ostrich, they should call him right away, as ostriches can actually be quite violent and dangerous. Ricardo begins to bark at Dave's trunk; Gérard goes to investigate and sees the body. Gérard pretends as though he has not seen anything amiss, and gets into his car to go "warn the other residents" about the ostriches. However, Kenny knows that Gérard has seen the body; he grabs the cocaine knife and stabs Gérard in the neck with it. Gérard bleeds to death on the ground in front of Kenny and Stefan; Dave, shocked, runs off into the forest. Dave emerges from the forest and hitches a ride to the nearest police station. While waiting to speak to an officer, Kenny arrives and sits down beside him in the lobby. Kenny begs Dave for help disposing of both of the bodies; Kenny promises that if Dave helps, he will leave Dave and Sylvie alone forever. Dave hesitates for a moment but eventually relents and follows Kenny outside the station, where Stefan and Joyce are waiting in separate cars. Kenny tells Dave to go with Joyce and get Gérard's body from Stefan's trailer. At the trailer, Joyce pulls a gun on Dave. However, before Joyce can kill Dave, he smashes a glass over Joyce's head and they get into a long and brutal fight. Dave eventually gains the upper hand and kills Joyce; he then sets Stefan's trailer on fire, with Joyce's body inside. Meanwhile, Kenny and Stefan are in a warehouse chopping up Gérard's corpse. Dave pulls up outside the warehouse, and Kenny and Stefan emerge, thinking that Joyce has returned with Dave's body. To their surprise, Dave emerges from the car holding a gun. Kenny tries to calm Dave down, but he cocks the gun in Kenny's face, intent on killing him. At that moment, two ostriches emerge from the forest and attack Kenny and Dave. Dave shoots at the ostriches, and the gunfire alerts a nearby police officer of their location. Dave manages to scare off the ostriches, but he loses his gun in the scuffle. Stef, who is furious that Dave has killed Joyce, hits Dave with his car; Dave is injured but alive. Stef gets out of the car, wielding a tire iron, and walks towards Dave. Before he can kill him, however, Kenny picks up the gun and shoots Stef in the face, killing him instantly. As the sound of police sirens approach in the distance and Dave lies bleeding, Kenny puts the gun against his head, intending to commit suicide. However, just as he is about to pull the trigger, Dave calls Sylvie's cellphone. Her ringtone can be heard coming from somewhere nearby; Kenny takes her phone out of his pocket. Dave stands up, and upon realizing what has happened, opens the trunk of his car. Sure enough, it is not Chalid's body in the trunk, but Sylvie's, lifeless and wrapped in a tarp. Dave attacks Kenny, screaming that Sylvie was pregnant. He crawls on top of Kenny and points the gun at his forehead. At that moment, several police cruisers arrive. The officers get out of their vehicles and shout at Dave to drop his weapon. He does not respond, continuing to hold the gun against Kenny's head, and the police eventually shoot him. Kenny is arrested by the police as Dave's body lies next to Sylvie's, illuminated by the light from the police cars.
